Course Overview

Politics has been taught at Leicester since the 1940s and we have always been at the cutting edge of British political science. We were one of the first Sociology departments to be established in the UK, and we now have an international reputation, a wealth of experience in teaching, and an enviable research pedigree. Politics and Sociology are intrinsically linked as politics and policies often seek to address social issues. Over the course of your degree, you will explore these links and be challenged to look at the world through a new political and sociological perspective. You will also gain an understanding of the key aspects of political systems, both here in the UK and further afield.
