Course summary

The BA Politics and…combined honours degree offers you the ability to combine their training in politics with another subject taught at SOAS. This combination will allow you to learn about political phenomena or regions of their interest from multiple disciplinary angles. Alternatively, you can also combine Politics with a language which opens up the possibility of deep engagement with one of the regions or countries you are interested in, including a Year Abroad for language studies. At the end of this joint degree, you will have developed the ability to analyse domestic political questions and current affairs across the world in their various dimensions. For the Politics component of the joint degree, students will take the core module in Political Analysis in their first year together with Political Theory or Comparative Politics. In year 2 and 3, they will have the opportunity to choose from a wide range of regional and disciplinary modules and open options. Students taking BA Politics with another subject must satisfy the requirements of both departments.
