Political studies have been offered at Leicester since the 1940s, maintaining our position at the forefront of British political science. As one of the UK's pioneering Sociology departments, we've built global recognition, extensive teaching expertise, and an outstanding research legacy. The disciplines of Politics and Sociology are fundamentally connected, as political actions frequently aim to resolve societal challenges. Throughout your studies, you'll examine these connections while being encouraged to view global affairs through fresh political and sociological lenses. You'll develop insights into crucial elements of political structures, both domestically and internationally. Leicester provides an ideal setting to investigate core sociological themes like ethnicity, migration, and social stratification. Home to dynamic, multicultural neighborhoods including Narborough Road - Britain's most diverse street - our city offers unparalleled opportunities to hone your skills through observation, engagement, and structured analysis.
