BA (Hons) Sociology with Politics

... United Kingdom
... University of Worcester

Course Overview

At Worcester, we encourage you to see the world from different angles, discuss new ideas, and think beyond the obvious. You’ll join a vibrant course community with lecturers who have a personal interest in you and your ideas. There are also plenty of real-life research opportunities, such as interviewing and observing, and when using sociological and political theory we make it relatable, showing how it can help with ‘real’ problems.

Alongside studying Sociology your course will have a political edge, allowing you to relate sociological research and issues to political philosophy, systems, and existential political challenges in Westminster, European and global politics. This combination of subjects will allow you to see the impact of politics, political language, and legislation on everyday life.

Our Sociology with Politics degree is a route into many careers. Our graduates have an excellent employment record and have pursued a range of careers, including in housing, the probation service, youth work, politics, caring professions, social services, the police, business and personnel management, public relations, media, marketing, and teaching.

In order to help you reflect, plan, and work on your career and progression aspirations, the course provides a number of opportunities for you to discuss and develop them. You'll gain employability skills such as managing and communicating with people, thinking out solutions to problems, and understanding the diverse society in which we live, not to mention digital literacy skills.

During your time at Worcester, you'll have the opportunity to experience subject-related work experience and volunteering activities. In Years 2 and 3 you can choose to register for a work experience module and to take up volunteering opportunities with local and regional organizations (these are regularly publicized to students). Moreover, the Politics team enjoys links with local councilors, MPs, and parties; in the past, students have gained valuable work experience across a range of political parties and campaigns, as well as working in local constituencies and Parliament.
