Overview

International Politics and Sociology is offered widely in the UK, so the useful comparison is between departments rather than between countries. It is a three year undergraduate degree, with the specialism widening as you move through the years.

Teaching in Politics is offered as a qualifying degree at most universities, which is the route that counts if you plan to practise in England or Wales.

Applications open around a year ahead of the intake. Getting the documents together early is what keeps the September date realistic.
