Course summary

What you will study: On our BSc (Hons) Politics course, you’ll get a full grounding in the discipline as a whole. You’ll examine questions of national and international significance, develop an understanding of the concepts, approaches and methods in political science, and explore the way power is exercised and distributed. We’ll show you how decisions are made – from government institutions to civil society – so you can learn how political views are shaped and changed. Our degree has Bachelor of Science status, in recognition of its technical analytical components that are highly valued by an increasingly diverse range of employers in the knowledge economy. You will develop transferable qualitative and quantitative research skills, and learn how to design and carry out research projects using market-leading data analysis software. You will have the opportunity to develop and apply primary research skills on a topic of your choice, if you choose to write a dissertation in your final year. Which politics and international relations degree is right for me?We offer a range of pathways to study politics and international relations. Let us take you through the differences between all of our courses so you know what makes each of them special. Foundation yearIf you don’t meet our entry requirements, you might still be able to apply for this degree with a Social Sciences Foundation Year. This is an extra year of study to develop your skills and make it easier for you to get started at university. On successful completion of your foundation year, you’ll be ready to progress to the first year of your degree.
