Politics

About this course

Politics is the study of power: how it is acquired, exercised, contested, and distributed in societies at every level from local communities to global institutions. It is a discipline with immediate practical relevance, addressing questions about who makes decisions, how governments are held to account, why conflict arises between nations, and how international cooperation is organised and sustained. Political science draws on history, philosophy, economics, sociology, and law to make sense of the institutions and dynamics that shape collective life. At York St John University, this three-year full-time degree engages directly with the pressing questions of contemporary politics, covering issues from climate change to international state security and asking you to think carefully about the power structures that shape how societies respond to challenges of this kind.
