Sociology at Surrey is one of the best in the UK with our sociology degrees frequently ranked in the top 10. 

We are world-leading in the development of social-research methodology, and our courses focus on the development of your practical and analytical skills in addressing contemporary criminological and sociological problems. 

The knowledge I learnt at university not only helped me get my role, but built the foundations for understanding issues around violence against women and girls and inequalities, which I am now able to share with others when delivering training. The skills I learnt when writing essays also help me when writing my reports.
