We are delighted to offer events and activities hosted on our campus, giving you the opportunity to find out about our courses, try taster sessions and meet current undergraduate students and staff from the School of Social Sciences.

Discover Manchester: A Sociology and Anthropology Showdown

Date: Thursday, 23 January 2025
Venue: Nancy Rothwell Building, University of Manchester, Oxford Road Campus

Come along to Discover Manchester: A Sociology and Anthropology Showdown to experience a battle of the social sciences! This day will give you an insight into the similarities and differences between Sociology and Social Anthropology and give you a taste of what they are like to study at university.

Learn from leading academics; engage in meaningful discussions and debates; explore our campus; chat to current students and hear from past students about where their degrees have taken them.

Please note that you do not have to be currently studying Sociology or related subjects to attend – we welcome all students who have an interest in Social Sciences to attend.

The event is free of charge. Booking is on a first-come, first served basis and places are limited. Y12 students should book their individual place via this form, and can attend without a teacher. Teachers will receive an automated email alert when a student books.
