BA (Hons) Human, Social, and Political Sciences

Human, Social, and Political Sciences (HSPS) at Cambridge can be tailored from the start. This means it’s suited both to those with specific subject interests, and to those looking for a multidisciplinary degree. 
The course comprises three core disciplines, taught by globally respected departments.

• Politics and International Relations explores politics within and between countries, covering issues from human rights and democracy, to financial crises and international conflict.
• Social anthropologists address ‘what it is to be human’ by studying social and cultural diversity – how people live, think and relate to each other around the world.
• Sociology focuses on the nature of modern societies and the processes that shape social life, by examining social institutions and topics such as power and inequality.

Depending on the track you choose, there may be options to take individual papers in the other HSPS subjects or from other courses as well.
