I chose sociology because it was a subject I genuinely enjoyed when I was at school. My favourite modules were around crime, studying terrorism and prisons as well as learning about rehabilitation.

BA Sociology graduate

I chose sociology because I loved it the most at sixth form and wanted to dive deeper. I loved the incredible lectures and seminars that really inspired curiosity and criticality. I found myself so passionate and interested in what the experienced staff taught us, as it was supported by the most recent research and the most classic, vital aspects of sociology.
