During a period of profound and unprecedented political upheaval, a degree in politics will equip you with the skills necessary to understand and succeed in the world around you.
As well as exploring British and international political structures, our course offers a distinct focus on ‘political action’ across party politics, campaigns and community politics. The backbone of this degree is your involvement in project work and applied research. You will be encouraged to think for yourselves and develop the skills to successfully engage in contemporary political debates.
Throughout the course, we maintain a critical focus on how political ideas and policies translate into ‘real, felt’ political action and outcomes ‘on the ground’. This includes relating established and emerging political thought to debates surrounding contemporary social justice and social policy.
Politics graduates have an important range of analytical and organisational skills. Jobs directly related to a politics degree include Government and Civil Service roles, covering public affairs, consultancy and research. Jobs in the field of marketing, media, public relations, and local government are also popular.
