Internships and Opportunities for Sociology Students
Undergraduate Research Internships
Each year the department runs three to five summer research internships for first and second year BSc Sociology students. It is a good opportunity to involve our students in our research community, and our research interns work with a member of academic staff on a research project, gaining valuable skills and experience.
