I think this degree would benefit more from being under the politics school rather than sociology and often times it can feel very seperate from the sociology and politics degrees seperately, some compulsory modules aren’t even optional modules for my course which feels like i’m missing out on important parts but it is a good course if you can’t choose between either subject as it provides a good range read more

Super interesting degree with interesting lectures and a good split for assessments. On the other hand, some lecturers simply read off of the slides and I’ve never met my personal tutor. You have to seek out help if you need it; however, when you do this it is available. The social sciences building is lovely but there is not much of a course community for any social science degree. read more
