| What it is | You study political systems, government, and law together, starting with foundational courses in politics and criminology before moving toward law-focused courses in later years. This combines subjects rather than being a full law degree, so it prepares you for law school or careers in legal fields without the professional legal qualification itself. It suits students interested in how laws and governments work who want to explore the field before committing to law school. | You study how societies should be organized and governed, combining philosophy, law, politics, and social policy to explore questions about justice, rights, and ethical decision-making. Unlike a straight philosophy or political science program, this one deliberately weaves together multiple disciplines to help you see how abstract moral principles connect to real laws and policies. It suits people who want to think deeply about how the world should work and aren't content with single-subject answers. |

Ranges are what each university publishes, not guaranteed cutoffs, and limited-enrolment programs often admit above them. Confirm anything you are about to act on with the university; each column links to its source.
