Bachelor in Sociology and Politics

Tuition is 14,018 USD per year.

Students in the final year can spend a work placement in a setting such as the European Parliament in Brussels, while each year a number of blended intensive programmes combine online learning with a five-day visit to a partner university in Europe, adding a tangible international dimension to the study.

The degree merges sociology – the systematic study of societies, everyday practices and structural inequalities – with politics, which examines how groups and organisations make decisions, from schools to governments. It engages with questions of economic disparity, power, gender, race, religion and migration, encouraging critical analysis of both national and global contexts.

Graduates move into roles in policy development, community work, research, NGOs, public administration and further academic study. The programme helps graduates develop analytical, writing and research skills that are valued across the public and private sectors.
