Our research programmes will prepare you for a rewarding career as an academic and researcher, as well as opening up opportunities for a diverse range of careers outside of academia, for example, in formulating policy.
Sociology’s postgraduate culture centers on students completing an MA by Research; MPhil or Ph.D. As an Abertay researcher, you will collaborate across disciplines with colleagues from other divisions. We have been a key partner in a number of large European grants specifically examining the interaction between technology, society, and social innovation, as well as exploring social network dynamics for collective awareness.
Division staff has supervised a wide range of projects some of which have entailed partnership with non-academic user groups in the domains of:
Policy sociology – health, education, youth, environment, influencing public policy, communities, and professional practice.
Criminal justice – influencing policing and criminal justice stakeholders.
Media, arts, and cultural industries – centering on digital design processes, media educationalists, artists, and curators.
Collaborations exist with criminal justice and policing researchers through the inter-university Scottish Institute for Policing Research (SIPR), the Scottish Informatics and Computer Science Alliance (SICSA), and with media educationalists through the Association for Media Education in Scotland (AMES).
