Overview

Social and Political Sciences (with a year in industry) is taught at a number of UK universities, and the entry terms are set department by department rather than nationally. It is a three year undergraduate degree, with the specialism widening as you move through the years.

Teaching in Politics covers the English legal system first, then opens into optional modules in the later years.

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