Politics

Be a part of the next generation leading political change and tackling some of the major issues we face. Hone your skills in practical, real-world scenarios and learn how to campaign for a local constituency or represent the UK at the Earth Summit in one of our unique simulations. We place politics in a broad setting, looking beyond Westminster and Washington to both the global and hyperlocal.

- Learn from experts. Be inspired by teaching rooted in research. Work closely with experienced and engaging staff who are leading experts in their fields; areas of expertise include popular protest in the Middle East, NATO and security studies, the politics of China, global environmental politics and the politics of the European Union.

- Design your degree. Integrate innovative modules from across the School of Society and Culture, focusing your degree on areas that interest you and making your degree your own.

- Boost your experience. Opportunities to study abroad, gain practical experience or work in your chosen field. Build practical skills to take into your future through varied and innovative assessments.

- Connect with the political environment. Field trips and guest speakers will help you connect more directly with the world of politics, including a first-year trip to London where an MP gives a behind the scenes tour of the House of Commons.

- Stay informed. Understand and analyse an ever-changing political landscape, both in the UK and the world.
