This page covers Politics and Theology across the departments we work with, including what each asks for and what it charges. It is a three year undergraduate degree, with the specialism widening as you move through the years.
Teaching in Social Science is reading led, with methods training in the middle years and a dissertation at the end.
If you are comparing this against two or three other courses, send us all of them. We will set the entry terms and the fees side by side.
