UG Handbook (Politics & Sociology)

Politics, Sociology and East European Studies BA Handbook

The programme requires you to take the equivalent of 360 credits听over three years, 120 in each year. You will also write a dissertation based on your own research related to a topic in Politics or Sociology linked to the region.

The basic principle of the BA Politics and Sociology degree is progression from one year to the next along defined disciplinary pathways. Knowledge and skills learned in one year provide building blocks for more advanced study in each subsequent year.

Please note that听students:

  • must register for exactly 120 credits per year of study and听optional modules are subject to change;
  • must have taken and passed 90 credits of Level 6 modules by the end of the final year;
  • are not permitted to take more than 150 credits of Level 4 modules over the course of your programme;
  • The Year Abroad must be passed.

The pass mark for each course unit is 40%.听Late summer resits will be available for eligible students who fail between 15 and 60 credits (further information on the topic can be found on the Student Handbook page, Chapter 5.6)
