Program Overview

Be a part of the next generation leading political change and tackling some of the major issues we face. Hone your skills in practical, real-world scenarios and learn how to campaign for a local constituency or represent the UK at the Earth Summit in one of our unique simulations. We place politics in a broad setting, looking beyond Westminster and Washington to both the global and hyperlocal.

Be inspired by teaching rooted in research. Work closely with experienced and engaging staff who are leading experts in their fields; areas of expertise include popular protest in the Middle East, NATO and security studies, the politics of China, global environmental politics and the politics of the European Union.

Design your degree.

Integrate innovative modules from across the School of Society and Culture, focusing your degree on areas that interest you and making your degree your own.

Boost your experience.

Opportunities to study abroad, gain practical experience or work in your chosen field. Build practical skills to take into your future through varied and innovative assessments.

Connect with the political environment.

Field trips and guest speakers will help you connect more directly with the world of politics, including a first-year trip to London where an MP gives a behind the scenes tour of the House of Commons.

Stay informed.

Understand and analyse an ever-changing political landscape, both in the UK and the world.
