Undergraduate

The study of politics, international relations and sociology concentrates on how societies organise themselves and handle their differences. It goes right back to the ancient Greeks and covers not just institutions and ideas but interactions between states and various non-state actors, such as NGOs, multinationals, unions and the media in the international order.

At Queen Mary University of London, you will have the chance to study these disciplines from a truly global perspective. You will be introduced to theories of politics, international relations and sociology, and you will apply them to topical debates on a huge range of both domestic and international issues. At the end of your programme you will have acquired the skills needed to analyse and make sense of our ever-changing world.
