MSc Digital Sociology

Our sociology department is the UK’s top-ranked department for sociological research.

This programme will provide you with a rigorous introduction to the sociological study of digital society and digital culture.

You will be introduced to the core theoretical and methodological issues that arise when sociologists investigate the increasing prevalence of digital technology, digital infrastructure, and data production, capture, and analysis in everyday life.

The programme will also allow you to study the very social conditions (economic, political, and cultural) that give rise to such technologies and their circuits of power.
