Explore power, justice, and society through an interdisciplinary lens, gaining real-world experience, international opportunities, and critical skills to lead in an evolving world. Learn how to drive societal and political change by studying with us. Develop critical thinking, decision-making, and policy-shaping skills, equipping you for impactful careers in government, public policy, international organisations, or NGOs.

Our Politics and Social Policy BA combines two impactful disciplines, equipping you with the skills to drive societal change locally and globally. Benefit from global opportunities, professional placements, and a range of optional modules.

You’ll also have the chance to participate in Model NATO, gaining invaluable experience in diplomacy and decision-making, with events in Washington DC, London, and Lisbon. Each module is assessed independently, and all modules contain some components of continuous assessment (that means assessment taking place during the teaching terms). Some modules are assessed entirely through coursework, without an end-of-year examination. At the beginning of each module, you'll be given information on how and when you'll be assessed for that module. You'll receive feedback on each assessment within three weeks, so that you can learn from and build on what you have done, including written feedback on your assessments, class feedback, and questions sessions and discussions with your tutor. When exams are included in a module, you’ll have access to marking criteria, and mock exam and marking sessions allow you to get a sense of what to aim for.
