BSc (Hons) Politics

Expose the link between people and political power. Our politics degree helps you make sense of an ever-changing world, understand the facts and use them to form coherent, compelling arguments about what’s going on in our times.

You’ll grapple with some of the most pressing issues of the modern era, such as:

nationalism and populism
regional politics, e.g. Russia, South Africa, and Europe
conflict and peacebuilding
gender equality and racial justice.
And you’ll be joining a community where those around you are socially, politically, and environmentally conscious and active.

As this is a joint honours degree, you can study it alongside another discipline of your choice and explore how they overlap. You may combine politics with:

Communication, Media and Culture
Criminology
History
Philosophy
Sociology.
