The Department of Sociology and Social Anthropology is a large and dynamic department within the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences. It encompasses two distinctive but related disciplines, that of Sociology and Social Anthropology. We offer separate majors in Sociology and Social Anthropology at undergraduate level and a range of discipline-based courses from honours through to doctoral studies at postgraduate level. Under that broad umbrella, each discipline draws on its distinctive theoretical and methodological traditions to ground its research and analysis of social issues, as well as the training it provides its students.
