About this course

What will I learn?

The Politics and International Relations BSc is designed for people who are passionate about politics and who want to look in-depth behind the headlines to understand the forces shaping today's world. The degree will empower you to assess some of the most pressing challenges of our time, both domestically and globally. Our training will equip you with the tools through which to analyse data, conduct research and write persuasively. The three-year curriculum delivers both structured training in political science and the opportunity for you to focus on the questions that interest you most. The first year begins by investigating some of the great political challenges in the world today. You will also explore some of the main subfields of politics, including international relations, comparative politics, public policy and political philosophy. During the first year you will also develop your writing skills and learn about the use and misuse of data in politics.
