About

The Making Social Worlds programme offered by The Open University UK demonstrates how sociological approaches can be applied to make sense of these processes – investigating how they work and how they sometimes fail. Through topics such as medicine, the family, money and reality television, you will explore how social experience is shaped by the material world, and made meaningful through culture.

Overview

In order to survive, human beings live in social worlds which create security, foster stable attachment between individuals and things, and regulate behaviour.

The Making Social Worlds programme offered by The Open University UK is ideal if you have previously studied the social sciences and want to consolidate your understanding of sociology.

Vocational relevance

Making social worlds has relevance to a wide range of employment situations including public administration, health and social services, education, business, and other private and public sector organisations. It offers students the opportunity to develop transferable skills, such as the ability to gather, analyse and present written information to different audiences, including online; present reasoned arguments; plan and design research; and give and receive constructive feedback as part of a team.

Programme Structure

The module is organised into three blocks that combine sociological study with teaching materials that aim to develop your transferable skills.

  • Passports
  • Security 
  • Attachment
  • Conduct
