This BSc (Hons) Politics and Sociology course will provide students with extensive knowledge of the interactions between ideology, policy making, power and social structures. Looking at social policy from the perspective of political institutions, as well as the sociology of political structures, they'll engage in a range of debates about the nature and impact of ‘social problems’.

Moreover, the study of policy making in practice will provide students with an overview of opportunities and constraints affecting the way that policy is formed and implemented.

Students will split their time equally between politics and sociology, developing a sound understanding of both disciplinary traditions and cultures.
