| What it is | This program combines the study of how societies communicate with the analysis of politics and power. You'll learn media theory, journalism skills, and political systems alongside each other, rather than choosing one or the other. It suits students curious about how information shapes politics and who want hands-on experience through paid work placements alongside their studies. | You study how people communicate and how society works, combining media, journalism, and social analysis. Unlike a program focused only on communication or only on sociology, this joint degree lets you examine both how messages spread through society and why societies function the way they do. It suits students interested in understanding culture, institutions, and human behaviour through multiple lenses, and who want practical work experience alongside their studies. | This is a four-year degree combining the study of political systems and institutions with media, journalism, and how people communicate messages to audiences. Unlike studying either subject alone, you examine how politics and communication shape each other — analyzing political campaigns, news coverage, and public persuasion. It suits students interested in policy, political reporting, campaign work, or understanding how information flows in democratic societies. |

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.
