This programme is largely based on a practical approach to learning. Through Economy, Risk and Society you will be introduced to key discussions on the nature of power, knowledge, organisations and markets. You are also exposed to different approaches to the study of economic life, as well as case studies associated with current transformations in the socio-economic system – the rise of new forms of financial activity, new varieties of money, and new spheres of economic activity.

The core course is complemented by metholodology courses and a variety of optional courses, up to the value of one and a half units, which allow you to tailor your programme to interests and career goals. Options include further specialisation in the sociology of risk and regulation, economic sociology and the sociology of markets, employment relations, globalisation, and the sociology of science and technology.

You will also complete an empirical or theoretical dissertation of up to 10,000 words on a subject of interest related to the courses and approved by the Department. This will provide you with the opportunity to think sociologically and at length on a sociological problem, issue or debate in risk and economic life.

You will receive feedback and advice throughout your degree. You will be advised on your dissertation topic by an academic adviser, in conjunction with the programme conveners.
