Sociology

The MSc in Sociology is an intensive one-year master’s degree. Students are given high quality research training in sociology, which includes knowledge of relevant theoretical approaches, an understanding of their application to substantive problems and skills in the use of major research techniques. There is also a significant element of self-directed study, including further reading and research, that will complement the hours of teaching. The time spent on further research will be determined partly by your academic background so far, and partly by your own interest in and curiosity for the subject.The MSc in Sociology is offered on both a full-time (one-year) and part-time (two-year) basis. The degree and expectations for both modes of study are equally rigorous: part-time students take their classes with the full time students, but spread their study over two years to accommodate work and personal circumstances. Regardless of whether you choose to apply for the part-time or full-time course, you will be part of a close knit cohort of students from diverse backgrounds.
The MSc Sociology consists of the following four elements. Sociological analysis In Michaelmas term, the course consists of eight lectures (one hour each) followed by two seminars (also one hour each) where the class is split into groups. Part-time students take this course in the first term of their second year of study. It examines the nature of different sociological explanations, their potentials and methodological implications and their relationship with concepts from other disciplines. It also examines the interrelationships between description and explanation, theory and empirical data. Research methods This course comprises three sections: research design, qualitative methods and statistics. The statistics section consists of eight statistics lectures and eight computer-based sessions in the IT Laboratory (Michaelmas term). The qualitative methods section (Michaelmas term) consists of eight lectures. The research design section (Hilary term) consists of eight lectures and classes. Part-time students take the three sections of the research methods course in the listed term of the first year of study. Option papers In Hilary term, you will prepare for two option papers. You should note that the options available may vary from year to year; a typical offering is listed below: • Sociology of the Family • Sociology of Mafias • Social Movements • Political Sociology • Causality • Social Stratification • Sociology of Japanese Society • Sociogenomics • Gender • Sociology of Latin America • Online Social Networks • Sociology of China • Sociology and Global Health There are normally eight weekly classes for each paper. Part-time students take one option paper in the second term of each year of study. Dissertation You will write an MSc dissertation which you will carry out under the guidance of your supervisor. Part-time students will write their dissertations in the third term of their second year and submit by 1 September of that second year, but will be encouraged to start planning their thesis from their first year. Supervision The allocation of graduate supervision for this course is the responsibility of the Department of Sociology and it is not always possible to accommodate the preferences of incoming graduate students to work with a particular member of staff. Under exceptional circumstances a supervisor may be found outside the Department of Sociology. You can expect to meet with your supervisor at least twice a term, and at least three times over the summer vacation when you are writing your thesis. Assessment For the compulsory core paper on sociological analysis, you will sit a three-hour unseen examination at the end of Trinity term. The MSc also includes a compulsory research methods paper, for which you are examined via a mixture of a formal examination and take-home assignments. For the option papers, you will sit either an unseen examination or complete appropriate coursework. Finally, you will also be assessed on your dissertation of up to 10,000 words, which will consist of a sociological analysis. Graduate destinations Graduates pursue a variety of careers. Many go on to doctoral research either in Oxford or at leading departments in the US and continental Europe. Others pursue careers, often with a substantial research responsibility, in government departments, NGOs and the private sector. Changes to this course and your supervision The University will seek to deliver this course in accordance with the description set out in this course page. However, there may be situations in which it is desirable or necessary for the University to make changes in course provision, either before or after registration. The safety of students, staff and visitors is paramount and major changes to delivery or services may have to be made in circumstances of a pandemic (including Covid-19), epidemic or local health emergency. In addition, in certain circumstances, for example due to visa difficulties or because the health needs of students cannot be met, it may be necessary to make adjustments to course requirements for international study. Where possible your academic supervisor will not change for the duration of your course. However, it may be necessary to assign a new academic supervisor during the course of study or before registration for reasons which might include illness, sabbatical leave, parental leave or change in employment.
