Course Overview

On our BA Politics and Philosophy with Year Abroad joint honours degree you will meet the great minds of politics and philosophy on equal terms, not just by learning what they think, but by engaging with them critically.

On the BA Politics and Philosophy with Year Abroad degree, you will learn about campaigns, elections, protest movements, policy issues and political ideals. You will also learn how to understand other people’s political and philosophical arguments and examine them for weak spots and errors, whilst developing your own skills in analytical and critical enquiry, debating and self-motivation.

Politics looks at how power is exercised, how political decisions are made, and who these decisions are made by.  You will explore different political arguments, rival theories and alternative explanations, whilst developing your skills in analytical and critical enquiry, debating and self-motivation.
