About the department:
Sociology

The MPhil/PhD in Visual Sociology offers you the opportunity to combine written sociological argument with film, sound, or photographic representation. It will allow new researchers to re-think both the conduct of social research and the forms that social research writing takes in the 21st century. Students registered on this degree will complete all of the research training courses outlined for the MPhil/PhD programme. The PhD will allow you to re-think the gathering, analysis and presentation of research data and consider the future of sociological representation.

Please see more information about Starting your research, upgrading to PhD registration, and submitting your thesis.

Assessment

Thesis, visual/aural component (a video or sound feature, or a photographic project), and viva voce.
