One of the unique aspects of taking a degree at Lancaster is the flexibility you have to choose the subjects that will make up your degree.
This flexibility applies not only to the modules that you can choose within your degree scheme, but also the structure of your course, particularly in the first year. If you are taking sociology as a single major degree, then in your first year your courses would include:
- The sociological imagination (full year module)
- An option of your choice inside or outside of the Department (full year module)
- An option of your choice inside or outside of the Department (full year module)
If you are taking sociology as a joint major degree (e.g. criminology and sociology; politics and sociology; film and sociology), then in your first year your courses would include:
- The sociological imagination (full year module)
- The Part 1 course for your joint major (full year module)
- An option of your choice inside or outside of the Department (full year module)
Whilst you will decide upon your degree or joint degree when applying for university, you don’t have to decide upon any further optional courses until after you arrive on campus to study. After successfully completing your first year, you can then choose which subjects to continue and which to drop.
