Social Policy and Politics (BSc)

Combine your study of social policy and its focus on wellbeing with politics and its consideration of power – who exercises it and for whom. Politics drives us to think about how society should be organised and how communities and states interact. This prompts consideration of how wellbeing is unevenly distributed in contemporary societies and the forms of social organisation necessary to enhance our lives. In the politics modules, you will study the politics of countries and governments and the relationships between countries, communities and individuals. Politics at Bristol is organised around three themes: political theory, comparative and national politics, and international relations. In your social policy studies, the first year introduces key skills and concepts within social policy so that you can familiarise yourself with theoretical, comparative and historical analyses. Your second and third years encourage you to explore your interests in greater depth through a wide range of optional units on contemporary issues. Both departments encourage strong synergy between research and teaching, resulting in a vibrant learning environment as staff respond to new research in their teaching. Skills development is woven throughout your programme and you will graduate with valuable transferable skills that ensure you are well placed to pursue your career goals.
