**DIGITAL MEDIA & INFORMATION STUDIES**: Digital media and information studies explores the creation, use and impact of digital content and information in the arts, humanities and society at large. It brings a human perspective to the issues of the digital age. This programme is accredited by CILIP, the Chartered Institute of Library & Information Professionals.

**SOCIOLOGY**: Sociology studies the ways that people organise their lives together, the constraints within which they do so, the patterns of their social behaviour, and the causes and consequences of social inequalities.
