Overview

Social Policy and Sociology 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 Social Policy is reading led, with methods training in the middle years and a dissertation at the end.

Tuition ranges from £22,400 to £26,600 a year depending on the department, which is a real difference over the length of the course.

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