You will be taught by experts in social movements, conflict and peace, religion and secularisation and global political sociology and become skilled in the social research methods used to gather the evidence to better understand aspects of society Ð such as observation, interviews, large-scale surveys or analysing the content of documents and videos.

In addition to your technical and language ability, you will develop great skills in thinking critically and posing probing questions Ð which have tremendous value to employers, for example in journalism, marketing and advertising, social and market research, teaching, health and social services, charities and human resources.
