Sociology and Social Research

The MA Sociology and Social Research program at Coventry University is designed to equip students with the skills necessary to tackle pressing societal issues through advanced sociological analysis and research methods. Over the course of one year, students will engage with critical topics such as identity, global crises, and digital transformation, utilizing feminist, decolonial, and postcolonial frameworks. The curriculum includes compulsory modules like 'Social Identities and Intimacies', 'Real World Research', and 'Power and Resistance in Contemporary Societies', which collectively total 180 credits. Students will benefit from a supportive learning environment, diverse staff expertise, and opportunities for social research collaboration. Graduates will be prepared for careers in academia, public services, and NGOs, applying their knowledge to drive social change and address inequalities.
