Hear about our BSc Sociology with Minors in either education, criminology, history or politics and international studies at Derry~Londonderry.
It is exciting to be extending sociology and the importance of a 'sociological imagination' across the university.

As someone who combines several of these fields in my work, it’s wonderful to see these programs on the Derry Campus of Ulster University. I hiked up the hill a year or so ago to see the campus - very nice!

Precious memories of a wonderful granny who we lost over the Christmas period. A formidable presence deeply missed, especially as we start 2025. Grandparents are the foundation for so much transformation. ❤️ so thankful for such a wonderful person.
