About Bachelor of Science (Honours) - Politics and Sociology (Placement Year) (LL23)
Program Description
Politics and Sociology at Brunel is a dynamic combination of high level study in both subjects. The politics studies will help students address critical questions like: Who has political power? Why do they have it? And in whose interest do they exercise it?
Meanwhile, the studies in sociology will look at subjects like sociological theory, social identities, the sociology of everyday life and the changing nature of modern societies. Students will be studying people, societies and how people live, and on the other how they are governed or want to be governed.
Both subjects will help to demonstrate students' intellectual acumen and understanding of world affairs and real life issues, which will be an asset in so many fields of work.
Whether students are studying modern world politics or the development of social change and transformations, they’ll not just learn about them, They’ll be analysing them using the tools of political science and social science to help deepen their understanding and critical thinking.
Students can opt for a placement year to gain valuable experience to help give them the edge in the job market when they come to graduate. Past students have secured placements in the Home Office, HM Treasury, the House of Commons, and the Competition Commission, but the list of possibilities is endless.
It’s a competitive world out there, so students will get plenty of support from their lecturers and the University’s Professional Development Centre to help prepare them for their placement year and the world of work.
Students can also increase their career options with an accredited journalism course, a free modern language course, or a with social media internship. They can even opt to study part of their degree abroad in one of Brunel's partner universities in Europe, or participate in an exchange programme to China or the USA.
It’s all available at Brunel to help students make a difference in the world – now and in the future.
Brunel graduates of this subject enter diverse careers. Some go into politics and the civil service, some are at GCHQ and military intelligence, and some go on to further study or into research.
Others go into the public sector – the NHS, social or care work, education or in local authorities, while others go into the private sector working for international banks, business consultancy, law, NGOs, the media and marketing. The opportunities are endless.
