The programme examines how power, inequality and identity shape everyday life, covering themes such as social class, gender, race, sexuality and the influence of institutions from the state to local communities.

Each week you will attend core seminars on topics like Global Society and Politics, Crime and Society and Identity, conduct research on London as a global city, choose option modules ranging from Gender and Sexuality Studies to Food and Consumption, and in the final year complete an independent research project under faculty supervision. The programme also develops critical analysis, presentation and communication skills through essays, reports and portfolio work.
