Description:

Are you curious about how societies work, develop and transform? Do you follow current affairs and political events? You can pursue these interests further on our Sociology and Politics joint honours programme.

The School of Social Policy, Sociology and Social Research offers a large choice of specialist modules on race, social change, criminal justice, disability and the arts. Our academics are internationally recognised for their expertise in sociological theory and their varied research gives you the opportunity to study diverse areas ranging from street culture to terrorism.

Our modules and creative forms of assessment are designed to stimulate your thinking and prepare you for a job market looking for versatile and innovative individuals.

Politics at Kent encourages you to think critically about political events, ideas and institutions while engaging with the key issues of today. 

Our degree programme

In your first year, you study the fundamentals of sociology and political science. You learn how to conduct and apply qualitative and quantitative sociological research and are introduced to empirical research methods for political science.

During all stages of your studies, you have the opportunity to choose specialist modules that suit your interests and include topics like international conflict and cooperation, conservatism, gender, political change, crime, race, violence and work.

In your final year of study, there is an option to take a dissertation module on a subject of your choice. This allows you to focus in detail on an area you are particularly passionate about.

Study resources

You have access to a wide range of topical journals and books in hard copy and digital format through Kent’s Templeman Library. You can also view content from the European Documentation Centre, a useful resource for studying European politics and policy.

Your designated academic advisor provides guidance for your studies and academic development. Our Student Learning Advisory Service offers useful workshops on topics like essay writing and academic referencing.

Extra activities

There are a number of student-led societies which you may want to join such as:

  • Socrates Society
  • Feminist Society
  • Kent Amnesty International
  • Politics and International Relations Society.

There are events available throughout the year for students from the School of Social Policy, Sociology and Social Research. These may include:

  • research seminars and webcasts
  • career development workshops
  • informal lectures by guest experts followed by group discussion.

You are also encouraged to get involved in the programme of events and activities run by the School of Politics and International Relations, which focuses on bridging the gap between academic study and real-life politics.
