What will I learn?

Politics is everywhere and everything. Understand it, and you’ll understand your own world know its rules, and you can start to play the game on your own terms. This course is for the brave, the curious, and the rebels searching for a cause. It’s about making the political personal, and being the kind of change you want to see.At NTU, learning means doing. We focus on two things: great theory, and grassroots activism. Studying in Nottingham - the UK’s original ‘rebel city’, and a hotbed of revolution, insurrection, and political intrigue - you’ll be applying your skills, passion and knowledge in the real world. Politics is a living, breathing subject, and you’ll analyse the big questions of how systems operate, how countries are governed, and how decisions are made. But you’ll also put the fundamentally human issues of social justice, morality and ethics under the microscope. You’ll interrogate your own political identity and values you’ll explore the ins and outs of today’s most contentious political issues you’ll take a deep dive into conspiracy theories, cover-ups, and secret histories.Politics is a versatile and universally respected degree. Our graduates have become MPs, sustainability crusaders, motivational speakers, community leaders, and even successful entrepreneurs. This is your world, your time, and your stage - we’ll give you the tools, insights, and confidence to guarantee you’re heard.**Why study Politics at NTU?**- **Work on real-world collaborations, projects and simulations** on topics which matter to you and develop core skills such as digital literacies and data visualization throughout.- **Study in the heart of the vibrant and multicultural city of Nottingham**, with a proud political history steeped in community activism.- **You will have the opportunity to undertake an optional year-long placement** and/or study abroad in your second year, with one of our international partners across the world.- **Learn a language as part of your degree with optional modules in your second and final year.** Choosing between Arabic, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Mandarin or Spanish, a new world of opportunities will open for you with beginner to advanced classes.
