Course Overview

Our Politics course situates the big issues of the day in their historical and philosophical contexts. Youll explore change in local, national, and global dimensions of politics, and scrutinize political ideas, structures and approaches. There is a strong emphasis on helping you gain the transferable skills that employers are looking for. The foundation year will develop your skills in critical thought and analysis, working as part of a team, networking, and the ability to communicate complex ideas clearly and concisely. These valuable assets will help you to enter roles in a variety of sectors such as national or local government, non-governmental organizations, journalism, or teaching. Every aspect of human life is organized around politics of one sort or another. Family, work, university, clubs, and societies of all shapes and sizes are as €˜political as the more obvious institutions such as states, governments, trade unions, political parties, and international organizations, such as the United Nations.
