Politics and Sociology BA Honours UCAS Code: LL32 (3 years)School of Geography, Politics and Sociology

Social issues are invariably political issues, involving questions of power, inequalities, conflict and change in contemporary societies.

Studying Politics and Sociology as a joint degree enables you to develop a rich, in-depth and historically well-informed understanding of these issues.

Dividing your time equally between sociology and politics, this course allows you to develop knowledge that cuts across disciplinary boundaries.

It is perfect for those who take an interest in the social forces that create and sustain social and political institutions, differences and change. You will develop a keen, critical awareness of the presence of power, struggle and diversity at every level of social life.

Our degrees are divided into Stages. Each Stage lasts for an academic year and you need to complete modules totalling 120 credits by the end of each Stage.
