Master of Arts (Sociology)

Sociology is about understanding and describing our local society and its global setting. Sociologists are interested in almost all aspects of the social world and in your MA (Sociology) you’ll consider questions such as: how is society structured? how is society changing? what divides or unites social groups? what causes the inequalities we see in society? how does power operate? With a Massey MA (Sociology) you’ll ask challenging questions about how power structures function in the social world. You’ll study culture, ethnicity, class, inequality, gender, mass media, politics, environment and social change as well as individual and group interactions.
