Lancaster’s Politics and Sociology degree is taught by academic staff that is shaping the study of Politics and Sociology today. You’ll develop a wide-ranging understanding of how political ideas and institutions shape the way societies are organised and have the opportunity to relate your interest in social and cultural themes to real world political events and current affairs. A Politics and Sociology degree at Lancaster will help you develop valuable skills in research, analysis and communication, as well as a range of written, team working and time management skills that are increasingly sought after by graduate employers. Your degree focuses on understanding social and civic processes, so it is particularly suitable for careers in the Civil Service, local government, public affairs, charities and social welfare organisations. Former graduates now use their skills in commerce, industry, accountancy, law, teaching, academic work, journalism and the armed forces.
