Politics with Business Management and Year Abroad

Are you interested in the extensive and powerful relationship between business and politics, and how each influences the other? Taught by experts from both the Schools of Politics and International Relations and Business and Management, this joint honours degree will give you an excellent grounding in politics and develop your understanding of management techniques and the forces at work in business.

The programme is tailored around these two closely connected disciplines, teaching you to critically examine the politics of business and public organisations. Core modules cover political theory, ideas and ideologies, government and institutions; and key business practices like accounting, marketing, human resources and organisational innovation.

As you progress in your studies you can select modules according to your areas of interest and feel ready for your chosen career path. You will graduate with significant political knowledge and analytical skills, and a working knowledge of the real-world strategies and processes used by contemporary businesses.

The year abroad will allow students to increase their knowledge of another culture, country, and understand the study of politics from a different perspective. It will also allow for the possibility to learn another language.
