Undergraduate Studies

We offer a large number of different courses in sociology, criminology, anthropology and psychosocial studies. Most courses offer four modules in each of three years, and combine a mix of core-compulsory modules in the major area of interest, optional modules, and a project in which specialist work can be undertaken. They are usually assessed by coursework and exam.
