Postgraduate Sociology and Social Sciences
Discover how discourses of autism shape autistic people’s lived experiences.
On our MA programme you’ll also have opportunities to gain practical experience and enhance your employability through work-based learning, and enjoy an international field trip.
If you’re looking for a shorter course, we also offer a PGCert Social Sciences (Critical Autism Studies).
Alternatively, if you want to focus on a particular aspect of social sciences, our MRes Masters by Research or PhD Doctor of Philosophy provide opportunities to do so.
