The course comprises three core disciplines, taught by globally respected departments: Politics and International Relations explores politics within and between countries, covering issues from human rights and democracy, to financial crises and international conflict; Social anthropologists address ‘what it is to be human’ by studying social and cultural diversity – how people live, think and relate to each other around the world; Sociology focuses on the nature of modern societies and the processes that shape social life, by examining social institutions and topics such as power and inequality; Depending on the subject(s) you choose, there may  be options to take individual papers in the other HSPS subjects or from other courses as well. The analytical and critical skills, intellectual versatility, multicultural sensitivity and international outlook you develop through this course are widely sought after by employers.
