The Politics strand of the course is concerned with the
study of government and political action. In year one students will study
introductory modules in Politics, the European Union, and governance. At the
core of the second year are modules dealing with the history of political
thought, as well as a focus on British, foreign and domestic policy. In the
final year a politics research dissertation on an agreed topic of their choice
counts for a substantial and challenging part of their programme. The Sociology
strand of the course will provide students with an in-depth understanding of
social processes, social change, organisational dynamics and inter-group
relationships. Students will complete introductory and intermediate modules in
research methods in preparation for designing their own independent research
project in the Final Year. This course deals with more complex issues including
the relationship between science and ‘race’, reproductive politics, corporate
power, climate change, ageing, religion and media power. In the final year a
politics research dissertation on an agreed topic of their choice counts for a
substantial and challenging part of their programme.
