Course summary
This bachelor's in Politics degree provides the analytical skills, and theoretical and methodological tools that will help you address the key questions that are central to understanding politics today. You will learn to look beyond borders to develop an international understanding of politics in today’s increasingly interconnected world, as well as insight into central issues and trends that characterise twenty-first century politics. Why are some countries becoming democratic while democracy is failing in others? How is political power distributed in different societies around the world?

- Broaden your regional and country-level expertise with a range of modules on the politics of emerging powers
- Secure a micro-placement and work on a research project of your interest at a politics related institution such as an NGO, a think tank, parliament, a political risk consultancy, or the Civil Service
