Visiting Students - Social and Political Sciences
The study of social and political sciences at York is a collaborative framework between three excellent social science research and teaching departments.
You will be taught by the School for Business and Society, Department of Politics and International Relations, and the Department of Sociology.
Unfortunately, we cannot accept applications from postgraduate students for social and political sciences.
Undergraduate students
Our undergraduate programme prioritises small-group seminars where our students take active roles in defining their learning paths, supported by close contact with personal tutors; while we support a graduate culture involved in a varied programme of workshops, seminars and conferences.
