BA(Hons) Politics and International Relations at UWE Bristol is an exciting course, focused on delivering high-quality, practice-based teaching and an outstanding student experience, informed by academic research. We offer you a wide range of modules, covering topics such as human rights, gender and sexuality, ethics, race, religion, foreign policy, international security, and public policy. These modules are delivered with a strong emphasis on applying theoretical knowledge to practical solutions to local, national, and global challenges.

Our experienced and dedicated teaching team is passionate about our subjects and bring them to life through our teaching. You'll learn through a combination of lectures, workshops, and hands-on activities, such as role plays, debates, and policy analysis, all supported by modern technology. We design our classes to strengthen your academic, writing, and presentation skills, including activities that will develop your ability to think both independently and critically.

We're delighted to be one of the UK universities selected to deliver the prestigious Parliamentary Studies optional module to third year students from the 2024 academic year. The Parliamentary Studies module is formally approved by the Houses of Parliament and is co-taught by university tutors and Houses of Parliament officials. Students will gain a detailed knowledge of how Parliament works, both in theory and practice, as well as the first-hand experience of visiting and working with colleagues at Westminster.

We've embedded practice-orientated learning at all levels of the course. You'll get involved in activities such as live briefs, simulation exercises, and conflict resolution games, and we'll also offer opportunities for you to engage in workplace learning through placements. By the end of the course, you'll have developed the skills and knowledge to understand and engage with political questions and current affairs.

We've created an active learning community where students and academic staff exchange ideas in research seminars, roundtable events, and guest lectures. Regular events include field trips and careers sessions, including 'meet-the-employer' opportunities with speakers from the Civil Service, NGOs and local and international businesses. These events give you a clear view of how politics is researched and practiced, inspiring you to apply the skills you've gained in your degree.
