Subject area
Sociology and Social Sciences
Grouped here when the official title names sociology, anthropology, social policy, social work or development studies.
Sociology and the wider social sciences study how societies, groups and institutions work, using quantitative and qualitative research methods. Anthropology, social policy and development studies are usually taught alongside or within the same faculty.
The programmes below were read from institutions’ own catalogues and grouped here by U4S. That grouping is an editorial judgement about the published title, not a statement from any institution, and two programmes sitting on this page are not thereby equivalent — content, entry requirements and the qualification awarded can differ substantially between them and between countries.

The catalogues these were read from list programmes without declaring a level, and U4S does not infer one from a programme’s name.
