history and a thriving contemporary debate. The MSc Political Sociology
is designed to look beneath the day-to-day controversies of politics in
order to explore the underlying forces that either promote or retard
political and social change.The programme will provide you with the analytical tools and the
empirical knowledge to understand some of the fundamental forces that
have shaped, and are shaping, the world in which we live. It combines a
strong core course that explores classic empirical and historical
puzzles about the relationship between politics and society, with the
flexibility to develop individual interests in a wide range of different
areas. It will give you the opportunity to expand your knowledge of
politics and society, and to build up special expertise in particular
areas.
