Overview

Sociology with a Social Sciences, Arts and Humanities Foundation Year is taught at a number of UK universities, and the entry terms are set department by department rather than nationally. It is a three year undergraduate degree, with the specialism widening as you move through the years.

Teaching in Sociology is assessed mainly through extended written work rather than examinations.

Tuition ranges from £22,200 to £26,550 a year depending on the department, which is a real difference over the length of the course.

Applications open around a year ahead of the intake. Getting the documents together early is what keeps the September date realistic.
