English Literature and Sociology BSc

... United Kingdom
... Aston University

Course Overview

You will study literature, culture, and history and explore the style choices of films, digital fiction, Instapoetry, and Twitterfiction, alongside more traditional modes of text. We will equip you to critically engage with a variety of texts across both literary genres and periods, and youll be able to develop your skills as a writer through our Creative Writing module. At Aston University, sociology is about real-life, everyday experiences. Our research-led teaching brings social theory to the study of pressing issues in the modern age, such as migration, climate change, welfare, crime, health, and sexuality. We focus on key contemporary issues, social policy and decision-making, global trends, and international comparisons. On the sociology strand of the course, youll gain an in-depth understanding of social processes, organizational dynamics, and inter-group relationships. We explore the social constraints we encounter in our everyday lives and how they are reinforced by class, race, religion, and gender. To understand how these issues perpetuate existing inequalities and unequal life chances, we analyze how politics is intertwined with the profit-making aims pursued by big corporations and how their combined interests dominate our social imaginations. When learning about contemporary topics such as inequality, racism, health, migration, sexuality, identity, education, the media, crime, and climate change, you will be taught by experts in these fields.
