Course summary

If you're interested in taking your existing expertise and qualifications in Sociology into a postgraduate research degree, there's no better place to do it than Portsmouth.

Through our Sociology research, we're exploring how our societies evolve, and the place of individuals, communities, governments, and organisations within them – and when you study with us for a postgraduate research degree, you'll have the chance to make your own contribution to the important research we're doing.

We're studying the patterns of relationships and social interactions, examining how cultures and communities are formed, and tackling the problems posed by a growing, global population in an increasingly complex and connected world. We're also exploring women’s issues and gender issues, from women's suffrage and feminism, to gender representations in the media.

What can a postgraduate research degree do for my career?

Once you complete your postgraduate research degree, you'll be a highly-skilled researcher with the knowledge and skills to make an impact in many different industries.

Your postgraduate research qualification demonstrates to potential employers that you're an intelligent, capable and motivated person, with provable abilities and experience in critical thinking, problem-solving, project management, communication, leadership and creativity.
