Sociology

Sociology is concerned with understanding social life and our place within it. It provides insight into our cultural and everyday lives, and addresses key historical and contemporary questions, such as those relating to poverty, immigration, privacy, social unrest, and many more important issues beyond. Sociologists have for decades been providing answers to difficult government and policy questions, informing industry, and challenging inequalities.

The social sciences have a long and well-established history at the University of Salford, having been taught here since 1963.

A degree in sociology can lead to a career in: community development, housing management, the police, probation work, human resources, regeneration, retail management, social research, social work, teaching, youth work, and much more beyond.
