Politics and Sociology, BSc (Hons)

At Brunel University, the Politics and Sociology programme offers a rigorous blend of both disciplines, equipping students to explore critical issues such as the distribution of political power, its origins, and its implications. Sociology modules delve into theories of society, social identities, everyday life, and evolving modern structures, fostering an understanding of human behaviour, societal dynamics, and governance.This interdisciplinary approach enhances analytical skills and global awareness, preparing graduates for diverse careers in politics, civil service, intelligence, public sector roles like the NHS or education, and private sectors including banking, consultancy, law, NGOs, media, and marketing. Opportunities for placements, journalism courses, language studies, or international exchanges further boost employability, with sample modules including Making Sense of Culture & Society, Crisis & Critique, and Comparative Electoral Systems.
