We've been helping students find the right postgraduate course for over a decade.
This new programme offers students the opportunity to critically explore social and political forces that impact on contemporary issues. It provides the theoretical and empirical skills that graduates of Politics and Sociology require for the analyses of why our societies are the way that they are and if they can be improved.
