MSc Inequality and Society at University of Sunderland

Entry requirements

We usually require at least a second class honours degree (usually a 2:1 or above) or equivalent. Experience may be counted towards your application. We welcome degrees in areas such as social sciences, psychology, business, law, education, humanities, health, arts, technology, and the sciences. We recommend that you have knowledge of sociological theories and concepts before entering the course. We offer a Social Theory Summer School in October before the course starts to cover the basics, but we also recommend applicants read about sociological theories. If your first language isn't English, you must achieve a minimum IELTS score of 6.5 in all four areas. Accreditation of Prior Learning (APL); If you already know some of the topics on this course, you may not need to study the full degree. This could either be due to previous learning or work experience. Accreditation of Prior Learning (APL) is the process of gaining credit towards a qualification from past learning. If you're eligible, you won't have to learn the same topic again. This means you could be exempt from a module, set of modules, or year of a course.
