Our BA in Politics and Social Policy combines two deeply interconnected fields that shape modern society. This dual-subject program equips you to address critical challenges at the intersection of governance and social welfare.
Political studies examine power dynamics, decision-making processes, and the actors behind policy formation. Throughout this course, you'll investigate electoral systems, activist movements, policy debates, and ideological frameworks. The curriculum fosters analytical thinking, encourages critical examination of competing theories, and hones skills in argumentation and independent research.
Social Policy takes a multidisciplinary approach, incorporating insights from sociology, political science, psychology, historical analysis, media studies, and philosophical thought. This makes the program ideal for students from diverse academic backgrounds. Through joint honors study, learners can merge Social Policy's comprehensive perspective with focused training in a complementary field.
