This is a joint Honours degree course which builds on the many links between the two sister disciplines of Politics and Law. Manchester's expertise in both makes it an especially good place to study in this increasingly important field.
The Law element of the degree course aims to provide you with a solid and coMasterhensive grounding in key legal principles, as well as enabling you to specialise in particular areas of interest in later years. In Politics, the aim is to introduce you to leading approaches in areas such as international relations and European politics, as well as core theoretical concepts. Building on this foundation, you are free to follow your particular interests within the field of Politics in your second and third years.

Unfortunately, this line of learning is therefore not considered suitable for entry onto courses within the School of Law.

If you have followed a non-standard educational route (eg home educated) we will consider your application against the standard entry criteria for the course to which you apply.

UCAS provides guidance on how to get a reference
Return-to-learn students are those who have had a substantial period away from any formal learning. Often such learners have pursued careers or raised a family. The University understands that students come from many different bachelorckgrounds, with varying qualifications, careers and skills, but they often bring to their studies a high degree of motivation and experience.
We normally do not require Return-to-learn students to achieve our normal entry requirement but need evidence of recent academic study (within last 12 months), preferably two A-levels at AB or an Access course.
If candidates are within a few years of normal school leaving age (18-20) we would usually expect them to apply with A-Levels.
Candidates must show a high standard of written and spoken English. We require a minimum of A from GCSE English Language or equivalent such as IELTS 7 with a minimum of 6.5 in each subtest.
Some English language test results are only valid for two years. Your English language test report must be valid on the start date of the course.
