During a period of profound and unprecedented political upheaval, a degree in politics and sociology will equip you with the skills necessary to lead and succeed in a changing world.
Combining your politics degree with the study of sociology is a smart choice. Sociology’s role is to analyse the changing nature of our social world. Its relationship with politics is deep and complex.
As well as exploring British and international political structures, our course offers a distinct focus on ‘political action’ across party politics, campaigns and community politics, with a particular focus on sociological perspectives.
Throughout the course, we maintain a critical focus on how political ideas and policies translate into outcomes ‘on the ground’. This includes relating established and emerging theory to issues of contemporary social justice and social policy, whilst studying challenging aspects of the real world such as inequality, violence, unfairness, or injustice.
Politics and sociology graduates have an important range of analytical and organisational skills applicable to many graduate opportunities. Jobs directly related to this degree include Government and Civil Service roles, covering public affairs, consultancy and research. Jobs in the field of marketing, media, public relations, and local government are also popular.
The political landscape is changing as society is evolving. New dynamic relationships are being forged between the left and right, and between localism, nationalism and globalism. There has never been a more exciting time for the joint study of politics and sociology.
