School of Social and Political Sciences (SPS)
The School of Political and Social Sciences (SPS) at York provides a unique opportunity for students to study across three of the best social science departments in the UK.
This exciting new initiative draws on research and teaching excellence in Politics, Social Policy and Sociology to offer an Interdisciplinary BA (Hons) in Social and Political Science.
Students will be able to investigate many of today's core issues and international concerns such as:

- global poverty
- the credit crunch and
- the impact of new media
The programme provides:
- Solid grounding in three core disciplines: Sociology, Political Science and Social Policy
- A unique interdisciplinary focus through a series of compulsory modules and completion of a final year dissertation on a topic of the students own choice
- Flexibility to select optional modules from across all three disciplines to build on students own areas of interest.
