About this course

Politics at degree level is a discipline that combines the rigorous analysis of real-world power with deep engagement with the ideas that justify or contest it. It examines how states are structured and governed, how international relations are conducted, how political systems compare across countries and cultures, and how political theory illuminates the fundamental questions of justice, freedom, and authority. In a world of rapid political change, a serious understanding of these questions has considerable value.

The programme includes a year abroad, giving you the opportunity to study in a different national context and to experience political science as it
