Underpinning Sociology and Law is justice. Study Sociology and Law at UoG to examine societal (in)justice and the legal and social structures that govern our lives. Explore how individuals and communities navigate their everyday lives through the legal, civic and normative rules and regulations, at a local, national and international level.
Applying sociological theories and concepts, students can question and debate the law versus normativity in relation to the family, employment, community and international justice systems. Bridging the gap between the classical sociological concepts of gender, race, class and intersectionality, alongside legal definitions and human rights, students can investigate the (in)injustices of, for example, family-life, employment and leisure, from national and international perspectives.
Students engage in the legal, moral and ethical dilemmas of our current times. The macro-overarching structures of colonialism, capitalism and nationalism are unpicked and decoded, to reveal the histories behind our legal systems. Legal and normative values create and recreate our sense of justice and injustices.
Research methods are the tools of our trade and our students work on real-world research projects throughout their degree, providing the next generation of Sociology and Law students with the skills and expertise for employability. Students can build their CVs through working with local organisations and our local connections, within their modules and placement opportunities.
As a Sociology student you can expect to participate in a range of lectures, seminars, practicals and simulations. Lecture sizes can range vary from 20 to 100 students depending on the module.
Students are assessed via essays, AI critiques, portfolios, blogs, journal critiques, report writing, group and individual presentations and a small number of exams.
Within the social sciences students are exposed to a range of guest speakers either in their modules or as extra-curricular activities. Many of our guest speakers commission research projects for our student’s assessments and provide volunteering and internship opportunities.
Here's an example of the types of modules you'll study (the contents and structure of the course are reviewed occasionally, but it is unlikely that there will be significant change).
