By combining Philosophy and Sociology, you gain the skills to critically analyse today’s society – and to tackle its biggest issues.
Philosophy encourages you to consider universal questions about human behaviour. In Sociology, you look at how they’re dealt with now – in our legal, political and cultural systems.
Your studies of both subjects take a progressive approach. You’re taught by expert researchers who influence ground-breaking debate. And you join a community that is philosophically and politically engaged.
