Course Overview

What you'll study?

This distinctive degree examines the theory and practice of politics, integrating both national and international perspectives. You'll learn about the significance of an increasingly globalized political environment and understand the significance of politics as a human activity.

The content of this course reflects the fact that politics in the 21st Century takes place at a global level and is experienced in everyday life – in struggles against discrimination and in our interactions as consumers, workers, readers and viewers.

You won't simply study politics, you'll also have the opportunity to practice what you learn outside of the classroom. We actively encourage our students to recognise, develop, record and reflect upon learning opportunities available to them through engagement with a wider programme of co-curricular events and activities. All first year students take the module Politics and International Relations in Practice, which facilitates your involvement in relevant co-curricular activities, helping you to practice and develop your politics skill set in ‘real-world’ contexts.
