School of Sociology and Social Policy

This interdisciplinary degree provides the opportunity to combine the subject areas of Sociology and Social Policy.

Sociology engages with the organisation, complexity and structure of society, and investigates the social, cultural, economic and political processes that shape human experience. Social Policy, on the other hand, explores how governments deliver welfare to citizens, and examines how modern societies understand poverty, human need and equality.

So choosing the interdisciplinary degree enables you to both examine the social world and immerse yourself in how governments respond to it, while also assessing how policies impact on people's day-to-day lives.

And, at Leeds, you have the ability to focus on your own sociology and social policy interests through our extensive selection of optional modules in Year One, Two and Three.

The interdisciplinary degree programme offers you the opportunity to study violence, sexuality, ethnicity, protest and social control, alongside globalisation, social citizenship, welfare reform, pensions, housing, migration and social policy in different societies.
