Sociology Module Selection

If you are a non-Sociology student interested in Sociology modules, please see the ModulesLink opens in a new window webpages. You will need to fill out our External Student Module Request FormLink opens in a new window if you wish to formally apply for a place on a Sociology module. The form will open in September 2026. Please contact if you have any questions.

Instructions

Below you will be asked to select the year you will be starting in the 2026-2027 academic year (i.e. October 2026), your course, and module preference details. Each option module can only be ranked once, but core option modules can also be ranked as option modules.

Please note that this form is for students registered on the following courses:

BA Sociology
BA Sociology & Criminology
BA Politics & Sociology*
BA History & Sociology*
BA Law & Sociology*
BA Sociology & Global Sustainable Development*
BA Human, Social and Political Sciences
BA Social Sciences with Data Science

* You will only be able to select Sociology modules on this form (i.e. those coded as 'SO'). Joint-honours students will need to check with their home department how module selection for non-Sociology modules will take place.

Please see the ModulesLink opens in a new window page for details of the modules on offer in 2026/27.

Please read the Module Registration FAQsLink opens in a new window.

Module Availability

The Department of Sociology will make every effort to ensure that the modules listed as available for 2026/27 will run. However, there is no guarantee that a particular optional module will run in any given year, or that it will be run by a particular academic colleague. Staff availability may change between now and October 2026 and this may mean that we are unable to run all of the modules currently listed. If you have pre-registered your interest in a particular module and we subsequently find that we are unable to run that module, we will inform you as soon as we can via email to your warwick.ac.uk email address.

Outside Options

You will be given the opportunity to specify if you intend to take an outside option in 2026/27. Please see below for degree-specific rules on taking outside option modules.

Only 15 or 30 CAT outside option modules are permitted, you cannot register for modules worth 6 or 12 CATS (or any other CAT value other than 15 or 30).

Please note that we cannot guarantee placement on any outside option modules.

Students who wish to take an outside option module must consult the department offering the module and seek approval. Approval must also then be sought from your home department. If Sociology is your home department, please email with the full details of the module you want to take (module code, full title of module and the name of the department offering the module) and we will check if you can take the module.

You can then complete the webform below and give us the full module code and title of the module you wish to take.

BA Sociology and BA Sociology & Criminology

In their first year, students studying BA Sociology or BA Sociology and Criminology can take up to 30 CATS of outside optional modules if they wish to. They can then take up to a further 30 CATS of outside option modules across their second and final year combined.

BA Human, Social & Political Science and BA Social Sciences with Data Science

Students studying BA Human, Social & Political Science and BA Social Sciences with Data Science are permitted to take a variety of modules from specific partner departments as part of their interdisciplinary degree. BA Human, Social & Political Science students may take modules from Sociology, PAIS, Applied Linguistics and Philosophy. BA Social Sciences with Data Science may take modules from Sociology, PAIS and Economics. You will be given the opportunity on the webform to specify which (if any) partner department modules you wish to take. In addition to partner department modules, you are permitted to take 1 x 15 CAT outside option module in the first year and up to 30 CATS of outside option modules across the intermediate and final years combined.
