Sociology and Management – (M.A.)

The University of Essex is one of the UK's leading academic institutions, ranked ninth nationally for research excellence following the last Research Assessment Exercise (RAE).

Our innovative MA Sociology and Management provides you with a unique opportunity to gain a critical appreciation of the social dynamics of work in the twenty-first century. As the occupation of management grows and changes, to demand a more specialised understanding of the modern organisation and the world it operates in, potential managers need an up-to-date and in-depth understanding of their occupation and its context.

Combining theoretical perspectives from the disciplines of sociology and management, you explore the importance of debates surrounding power, culture, class, gender, sexuality and new forms of labour as a means of understanding the complexities of today's contemporary workplace. MA Sociology and Management will particularly interest you if you wish to advance your knowledge of the social sciences in general, and will provide a platform if you wish to work in management roles or carry out further social research.
