BSc in Sociology (Single Honours)  

First Year Sociology students may take one International Politics module in each term as an option, from the list, given above, under the BSc in International Politics. Any combination of the modules is permitted, except IP1002 is not available to Sociology students.

Please note that Sociology students are required to gain 120 credits in each year. In the First Year, there are 90 credits from the core Sociology modules and 30 credits from the options. Each of the International Politics modules is for one term and provides 15 credits. Therefore, Sociology students must either take two International Politics modules or take one International Politics module and one other 15-credit module, from a different subject.
