Visiting students - Social and Political Sciences

Academic members of the School for Business and Society, Departments of Politics and International Relation and the Department of Sociology share a range of interests such as globalisation, poverty, democratic governance, climate change, conflict, migration, peace, protest, development, human rights, migration, urban studies, cultural change, social media, and how these phenomena shape the contemporary human condition.

Undergraduate students

Our undergraduate programme prioritises small-group seminars in which 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. Students choose modules from Politics, Sociology and Social Policy.  See our course choice page for these.
