Social and Political Sciences

This interdisciplinary degree combines the study of society with the cultural and political processes that shape human experience.

As a Social and Political Sciences student, you will study the organisation and structure of society and consider the changing nature of human action. You will also explore the theories that structure our political systems and the social forces that shape political life. You’ll gain expertise in analysis, research, critical reading and writing and more as you develop an understanding of key topics.

In addition to areas such as comparative politics and central problems in sociology, you’ll use examples from around the world to gain a firm grounding in the institutions and practices of modern political systems. You will do this while exploring social values and the impact of social divisions.

Within this flexible approach you will be able to construct your own course in line with your interests and skills.
