About Politics and Sociology, BA - at University of Sheffield

This course combines political analysis with policy studies, so you'll be studying the big societal challenges and issues in the world and learn how to address these with both a political and sociological lens.

You will be introduced to political theory and the big issues in contemporary politics. Expert academics with real industry experience will teach you how to analyse political ideas, institutions and practices, and you can choose from a variety of fascinating topics ranging from political economy, to human rights and security.

The modules you study in sociology blend excellently with what you will learn in politics, while offering a different perspective on topics such as health, gender and migration. You'll also learn the fundamentals of sociological analysis, and study modern industrial societies: patterns of social change, social interaction and the sociology of everyday life.

During your studies you will receive training in research techniques. You will apply these skills, along with knowledge you have gained throughout your taught modules, to carry out your own research project in your final year in a topic of your choice.
