Welcome to Sociology at Keele

The central philosophy of the Sociology programme revolves around the importance of active learning. It is a discipline which requires you to think about the society you inhabit and the human relations you experience every day. We believe that it is important that students learn to think about scholarly material in relation to the everyday world so that they can better understand their own social situation.

The teaching we do is closely tied to our research interests. This means that you will be taught by enthusiastic staff who are closely involved in charting contemporary society and changing sociological debate.

Members of the sociology team are involved in Keele’s Research Institutes, Life Course Studies and Law, Politics  and Justice. You will be able to experience the results of our extensive research through special modules taught throughout the second and third year.

We are a part of a highly successful teaching and research School. The Sociology programme is highly rated in both research and teaching terms, scoring highly in the recent Research Assessment Exercise and Teaching Quality Assessment.
