The Department of Sociology is recognised for its conceptually driven empirical research and its applied approach to sociology, and this sociological policy focus is reflected in the ways it works in partnership with a range of private, public and third-sector organisations.
All of our Media, Culture and Communication lecturers are active researchers, and we believe strongly in the close integration of research and teaching.
