Document Aims The document aims to identify and delineate programme and level learning outcomes for BA (Hons) Sociology. Academic and Professional Contexts Sociology is viewed as a popular discipline for undergraduates, holding strong social relevance to contemporary society, in terms of changing demographics and issues relating to globalisation and migration. Sociology seeks to address the need for a clear understanding of society and social processes to address the problems of late modernity. QAA subject benchmarks for honours degrees in the academic discipline of sociology have informed the design of this programme. Students undertaking the BU programme benefit from an opportunity to develop specialist knowledge of diversity, social processes and social change, from a sociological perspective. Graduates are equipped with communication skills, along with analytical and research skills that are increasingly necessary for professional work. Studying this degree gives students a chance to seek employment in local and national government departments, education, the corporate sector together with higher study and professional study for social work, alongside providing graduateness in a key area for the contemporary world and for the global citizen required within it. Programme Aims The overall aims of the programme focus on producing graduates who have the ability to: Demonstrate critical knowledge and a systematic understanding of key concepts and theoretical approaches in sociology Develop a coherent and detailed awareness of the social context relating to the discipline and the relationships between individuals, groups and social institutions Demonstrate critical awareness and understanding of social and cultural diversity, inequalities and social exclusion Demonstrate sophisticated conceptual knowledge of the origin and development of UK welfare institutions and the social and demographic context in which they have operated Critically discuss the history of contemporary social problems and related social policy Demonstrate an understanding of globalisation and demographic change in relation to sociological concerns Provide and apply a coherent understanding of social processes underpinning social change Develop a critical understanding of comparative analysis using appropriate social research methodology Evaluate the relationship between sociological argument and evidence Demonstrate awareness of the distinctive features of sociology and limitations in relation to other forms of explanation and other disciplines 5

D3 D4 D5 D6 Demonstrate communication, numeracy and information technology skills Identify information from scholarly sources to inform relevant sociological inquiry Be articulate in both verbal and written communication. Demonstrate time planning, organisational and management skills Learning and Teaching Strategies and Methods The overall programme learning outcomes will be achieved through a range of teaching and learning methods and strategies appropriate to each level. Subject knowledge and understanding This will be achieved at each level through the following: Lectures that capture students interest and excite their curiosity about the two subject areas Discussion-based seminars, designed to facilitate and reinforce students understanding of the subject areas, and encourage critical and independent thinking Access (via MyBU) to a range of online learning resources, tutorials and subject-specific websites Individual or group tutorials, which are usually student-led At Level 4 the emphasis is on acquiring foundational knowledge of the subject area through units such as Introduction to Social Theory, Families & Kinship in Contemporary Society, Social Exclusion & Discrimination and Understanding Rural and Urban Communities. Level 5 units build on these foundations by developing more in depth theoretical knowledge of subject area, through units such as Globalisation and Marginalisation, Histories of Social Policy and Social Welfare, and a range of option units such as In Sickness, Disability & Health, and Growing Up & Growing Old. At Level 6 students have a wide range of option units to choose from, enabling them to develop specialist knowledge in specific areas across sociology in relation to culture and belief, gender, social change and conflict. In addition, they undertake a 40-credit dissertation on a topic of their own choice, within which they receive personalised guidance from an appropriate dissertation supervisor. Intellectual skills At all levels, students will be encouraged to explore and actively reflect on the nature of sociological theories and methods, and to think critically about the different kinds of data which emerge from them. This will include, at all levels, encouraging students to develop an informed reflexivity about their own knowledge and perspectives, and challenging their habitual understanding of the world by learning about social processes and human experiences which are unfamiliar to them, both historically and culturally. Lectures, discussion-based seminars, student field trips and online learning resources will provide ample opportunities for students to develop these skills throughout the programme. 10
At Level 4 students will be introduced to distinctive sociological methods of acquiring and analysing data, through units such as Introduction to Social Research, and Understanding Urban & Rural Communities. They will learn about people and places that are both familiar and unfamiliar to them. Level 5 seeks to develop students critical understanding of sociology, social research methods and the different kinds of data which can result. They will be encouraged to broaden their historical and global awareness of different human experiences, for example through units such as Love & Intimacy in Contemporary Society and Controversial Cultures. Research knowledge and skills will build upon the Level 4 foundation by offering two research-based units: Methods & Methodologies in the Social Sciences, covering quantitative and qualitative methodologies; and Into the Field, focusing on community-based research. Building on this foundation, students at Level 6 will increasingly have the opportunity to carry out their own, self-directed study of particular topics of interest. This will enable them to develop an informed evaluation of different sociological understandings of the world, including a range of methodological and theoretical approaches. In addition, students will be able to study innovative, contemporary units, such as Politics and Ideology, Terrorism, Protection & Society, Seekers, Believers & Iconoclasts: Sociology of Thought and Anthropology of International Policy & Intervention. Subject specific skills Throughout the programme, students will be encouraged to develop ways of thinking and asking sociologically and social policy-informed questions about the world, which builds on their knowledge of theoretical approaches and methodologies specific to both subjects. Through taking part in lectures, seminars and self-directed study for various units, they will be expected to develop skills in gathering appropriate evidence and evaluating it in order to address these questions. Several units will also explicitly enable students to develop their awareness of the potential application of sociological knowledge to a variety of contexts. At Level 4 students will gain a general, elementary understanding of the kinds of questions sociologists pursue in their study of social life and human experiences, as well as an understanding of the theoretical underpinnings of these questions and issues, for instance through units such as Introduction to Social Theory, Introduction to Social Research, and Social Exclusion & Discrimination. At Level 5 students will broaden and deepen their understanding of sociological inquiry and expand their understanding of the kinds of methods appropriate to exploring different questions, for instance through units such as Into the Field and Globalisation & Marginalisation. At Level 6 students will increasingly be expected to plan and carry out their own independent investigation of topics of interest to them, using appropriate theoretical and conceptual frameworks and with appropriate academic guidance from lecturers. Transferable Skills Through studying this programme, participating in lectures and seminars and undertaking a range of assessments, students will develop key transferable skills, in particular the ability to think independently and evaluate different moral and intellectual positions critically. Through a blend of structured and student-led activities across different units, students will learn to manage their time effectively. They will 11
develop their written and oral presentation skills, and to engage in constructive group discussions. All Level 4 students will be encouraged to discuss and ask questions about the topics that are the focus of their learning. Guidance from academic staff and librarians will enable them to develop their scholarly and study skills (e.g., in referencing, managing their time, independent learning and making a structured argument). They will be encouraged to plan their time and manage the competing workload of different units. They will also gain experience in presenting their work in oral and written form. Level 5 students will advance these skills as unit content becomes more challenging and wide-ranging. Level 6 will make new demands on students in terms of managing an increasingly self-directed workload, including independent study for the dissertation, providing them with opportunities to further develop their communication, time management and scholarly skills. Assessment Strategies and Methods The programme will combine a wide-range of different forms of assessment of the intended learning outcomes. Level 4 At Level 4, subject knowledge and understanding, intellectual skills, subject-specific skills and transferable skills may be assessed by: - seen and unseen examinations - written assignments - an observational group study The methods of assessment employed are well suited to Level 4 intended learning outcomes, including promoting well-rounded, foundational knowledge of the subject areas and skills, and enabling students to develop their written communication and presentation skills, as well as their time planning and management skills. Level 5 At Level 5, subject knowledge, intellectual skills, subject-specific skills and transferable skills may be assessed in core units by: - written assignments - individual written evaluations of group presentations - seen examination At this level there may be a greater emphasis on coursework assessment through written assignments and reports than exams within core units. Coursework assessment will enable students to expand on the foundational knowledge and skills gained at gained at Level 4, develop stronger critical and reflexive skills and the ability to think independently, all of which will be important preparation for Level 6 work. Level 6 At Level 6, core subject knowledge, intellectual skills, subject-specific skills and transferable skills may be assessed by 12
- written assignments - 10,000 word dissertation - examinations - oral presentations At this level, assessments are designed to further enhance students critical and reflexive skills, their in-depth knowledge of specialist subject areas, competence in independent study and learning, as well as time management and written and oral communication skills. Placements Elements The programme offers three placement units: Placements 1 and 2 - An optional 20-Day Placement unit will be available at Level 5 or at Level 6. (Students may take one of these options only). Further details are available in the unit specification and handbook. Placement 3 - A 30-week placement taken over the course of a full-time academic year at Level P. Further details are available in the sandwich year placement handbook. Students wishing to undertake placements through either route will be expected to actively seek out opportunities for placement and make arrangements to undertake them in a way which meets all appropriate guidelines. 13
