Our joint programmes allow you to study law alongside another academic discipline. Over four years of study, you will take a range of courses from both the Law School and the School of Social and Political Science.
The joint LLB Law and Politics programme aims to promote advanced knowledge and understanding of the theory, concepts and rules of law.
You will also gain an understanding of:
- the choices that political systems must regularly make
- the processes that maintain or change those systems
- the concepts and values used in political analysis
Politics
Politics studies the theory and practice of how societies are governed:
- How do our political institutions create collective rules?
- Who has the power to make these rules, and what are the consequences of political decisions?
- What is the nature of a just society, and how do we get there?
Drawing on the expertise of leading academics and researchers in the field, you will explore the origins and present-day contexts of societal conflicts about power, participation, and resources.
You will study not only the processes of governance at the local, national, and international levels but also the morality of political action and the limits of freedom and justice.
