We have 5 Masters Degrees in Social Theory still available in 2026

A Masters in Social Theory delves into how sociological thought can explain human behaviour and social relationships. These courses focus on theoretical frameworks, often examining the work of influential thinkers and schools of thought, distinguishing them from other Sociology Masters programmes.

Related postgraduate fields include Social & Cultural Theory, Social & Political Theory, Social Policy, and Social Research Methods.

Why study a Masters in Social Theory?

Social Theory is a complex and wide-ranging field, and a Masters in this area allows students to explore various frameworks and methodologies. Core subjects may include postmodernism, poststructuralism, feminism, Marxism, and postcolonialism, with an emphasis on both historical context and contemporary applications.

Typically, the programme culminates in a major independent research project, where students produce a dissertation on a topic of their choosing. This project hones skills valuable for various careers in government, publishing, journalism, and more. Additionally, a Masters in Social Theory offers an excellent foundation for those considering a PhD in the field.
