International Politics and Sociology

This degree offers a broad understanding of these two complementary subjects, with a special focus on how the local and the global relate to each other.

You will study topics such as culture, identity, class, international political theory, and the global political economy.

You will learn about how specific actors and institutions emerge, how ideas shape global politics, and how social dynamics affect us all. You will explore the organisation of contemporary societies and the structures that define our everyday lives.

You will benefit from the degree in the following ways:

• Develop transferable skills in the analysis, interpretation and production of social data, including sought-after data literacy and quantitative skills

• Gain knowledge and expertise for a future career in politics, policy making, the civil service or government

• Become a critical thinker with an in-depth understanding of the complex interplay of local and global forces

• Benefit from our central location in a global city, close to national political institutions and organisations, and with access to a wide range of internship opportunities

• Boost your employability with an optional placement year.
