Increasingly, sociological concerns impact on the political agenda and the way governments respond to different contemporary social issues, and the interdisciplinary nature of the subjects is reflected in this degrees content.
This degree considers the impact of major social changes, such as demographics and changing family structures, and the influence of different political perspectives on the development of policies to deal with these challenges.
It has been designed to provide students with an understanding of the breadth of topics encompassed under the political agenda, as well as providing a conceptual framework and a range of transferable skills necessary to analyse critically and address a range of contemporary social issues.
This course draws upon the expertise of staff from across the School of Social and Political Sciences, whose research actively informs contemporary academic and public policy debates. Students may have the opportunity to engage with academic research projects being conducted by the School.
