Course Overview

This exciting degree in Politics employs cutting-edge teaching and research methods to provide you with a unique insight into the political process. Delivered by experienced, expert and enthusiastic academics, it combines political concepts, ideas, values and institutions, and explores the relationship between political theory and practice. Your learning experience will go beyond observing and studying, and prepare you for engaging with politics in your career. Our core placement scheme offers opportunities that have seen former students work in parliament and MPS’ constituency offices – seeing politics-making from the inside, and providing a great basis for professional development.

By taking the social policy pathway, you will gain an in-depth knowledge of policy-making processes and social issues. You will tackle emerging questions about solving inequality, poverty, education and healthcare. You will learn how to use your knowledge and skills to make and influence policy at local, national and global levels. You will analyse the most pressing contemporary social-policy issues and gain vital experience in how to respond to and shape the policy agenda. On the social policy pathway you will be wrestling with crucial emerging social debates and getting hands-on experience of doing policy work. This pathway is ideal for anyone who wants a career pushing for changes to improve the lives of millions of ordinary people all over the world.
