Economics and Politics BSc (Hons)

At Huddersfield, politics isn’t simply a theoretical discipline; it’s a subject where you’re encouraged to get active, take part and make a difference.
We’ll provide you with the opportunity to gain work experience by going on a placement in your second year, working in a political setting. You could be working for an elected representative, local government or a charitable organisation.
You’ll benefit from guest lectures delivered by Members of Parliament and other political figures, engage with student-led debates and take part in the active student Politics Society.
If you choose to study the four-year sandwich course, you could also take a year-long placement as a full-time employee in a business.
We’ll help you develop personal, professional and academic skills that could make all the difference when pursuing your chosen career. Whether you want to work in local or central government, management consultancy, education, industry or manufacturing, it’s all about building up the transferable skills that employers are looking for.
