Can I apply?

- Sociology.
How it works
The first step towards converting your degree is to apply for our 2021 Summer School. This two-week programme takes place after your first year of study (Stage 1) and introduces you to quantitative research. This allows you to assess whether you’d like to continue these studies as part of your degree programme and provides the knowledge you’ll need for the next stage.
If you decide to convert your degree, you take two modules at Stage 2. At Stage 3, you choose to write a dissertation or attend a work placement.
