Many sociology students go on to take degrees in sociology or a related field such as anthropology, criminology or education. Sociology is also considered good preparation and an acceptable entrance qualification for other courses at degree level.
Common career pathways taken by sociology graduates include journalism, law, PR, marketing, social research, politics, charity (NGO), development work, teaching, social work and nursing.
