As well as examining the workings of the political system in the UK and other states, you will explore some of the most important and interesting issues in politics.Our lecturers produce internationally renowned, cutting-edge research, and are keen to share their knowledge. You will also learn from guest speakers, including MPs and members of US Congress, and enjoy the option to study politics from different perspectives by spending a year studying abroad.During your time with us, we will encourage you to focus your studies on your own areas of interest.
