Course summary

Overview

Our joint honours course allows students to pursue their own areas of interest within International Relations and Sociology whilst also providing them with a solid foundation in both disciplines and a range of personal and professional skills which will serve as a springboard for their future career development. The programme is carefully designed to enable students to gradually develop their knowledge and skills and become autonomous, effective and independent learners.

International Relations provides students with the opportunity to develop their understanding and knowledge of world politics, focusing on issues such as nationalism, global justice, security, migration and climate change. Sociology is a wide-ranging subject concerned with analysing social relationships and social institutions and the ways in which they shape people’s lives.

Links between research and undergraduate teaching are an important and distinctive feature of the programme, and the combined research experience and competencies of staff have shaped its design, content and delivery.

Learning and assessment

In your first year, you’ll encounter a broad range of ideologies and modern political systems, gaining skills to help you succeed in securing a career after graduation. You’ll explore social processes such as gender socialisation, urbanisation and education from competing theoretical perspectives.

In your second year, you’ll explore the great issues of international relations. The optional work placement can give you experience in the working world and enhance your job prospects. You’ll learn about racism through the lens of housing, policing, migration and you’ll analyse different aspects of global social change and its varying consequences.

In your final year, you’ll have the freedom to focus on what you care about most, including your dissertation subject. There are optional modules focusing on the social impact of emergent technologies, the shaping of racial identities, international labour migration, human rights, global ethics, global environmental politics, terrorism and more.
