Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Sociology

A three year honours degree in sociology, covering social theory, inequality and stratification, research methods, contemporary social issues and a final dissertation.

Bath Spa runs sociology alone and in four combinations, so consider whether a pairing gives your degree a clearer direction.

Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Sociology is taught at Bath Spa University, a public university in England with full degree awarding powers. Because the sociology degree is a degree, it supports an application under the UK Graduate Route, which gives two years of unsponsored work in Britain after you finish. No job offer or sponsor is needed for the sociology degree, but you must be inside the UK on a valid student visa when you apply. Your student visa covers the length of the sociology degree plus a short period afterwards. UK rules from January 2024 bar a dependant partner or child on taught courses, so the sociology degree does not support a family move.

Applicants to Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Sociology need a recognised post-secondary certificate or equivalent with a minimum of 50 percent.

Bath Spa charges no application fee, and no scholarship is recorded against the sociology degree. The sociology degree lists three entry windows, one September start in each of three consecutive years. Apply Study Visa manages your the sociology degree application, the deposit, the offer, the CAS and the UK student visa as one process.
