This degree combines specialisation in one of ten humanities and social sciences, or Q-step, with a broad base in history, law, politics and philosophy, and fluency in a language. The programme is designed as "PPE or SPS with a foreign language", where you will gain access to the literature of your chosen specialism in both English and your major language. You may focus on areas such as North and South America, China and East Asia, or Maghreb.
In each year of your degree you will take a number of individual modules, normally valued at 15 or 30 credits, adding up to a total of 120 credits for the year. Modules are assessed in the academic year in which they are taken. The balance of compulsory and optional modules varies from programme to programme and year to year. A 30-credit module is considered equivalent to 15 credits in the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS).

A 30-credit module is considered equivalent to 15 credits in the European Credit Transfer System (ECTS).
Introductory modules in the first year allow you to develop your interests and identify an area of specialism for later years. Your modules then fall into three groupings: common core, language (and culture), and a specialism in the humanities or social sciences.
The common core involves working in a multidisciplinary environment, gaining insights into a range of academic disciplines and engaging critically with competing analytical perspectives. You will undertake language study throughout the programme, selecting one language on which to concentrate.
Your third year is spent abroad (outside Europe), in a country where your choice of major language is spoken. In your final year you return to UCL to continue with advanced modules in your language(s) and your humanities/social science subject, and also write your dissertation under the supervision of a member of staff. The major languages that you can study include Arabic (offered from beginner's level only), French, Hebrew, Mandarin, Japanese, Spanish.
Upon successful completion of 360 credits, you will be awarded a BA (Hons) in International Social and Political Studies.
