Expose the link between people and political power. Our politics degree helps you make sense of an ever-changing world, understand the facts and use them to form coherent, compelling arguments about what’s going on in our times.

Our joint honours course allows students to pursue their own areas of interest within History and Politics whilst also providing them with a solid foundation in both disciplines and a range of personal and professional skills which will serve as a springboard for their future career development. The programme is carefully designed to enable students to gradually develop their knowledge and skills and to become autonomous, effective and independent learners.

This degree course aims to equip students with a critical understanding of the core concepts, theories and approaches underpinning the study of society and social change.

Are you fascinated by how global affairs can shape society? Do you want to have informed opinions on pressing political issues and use them to make sense of our uncertain world? You’ll learn to apply structure and organisation to a planet that’s constantly in flux. And you’ll be in a place with others who’re socially, politically, and environmentally conscious and driven.
