Introducing your course
At a time of unprecedented political change, the study of cultural politics has never been more relevant. The only UK masters degree of its kind, this interdisciplinary course offers a unique opportunity to explore the ways in which culture and politics affect each other and give rise to social, political and economic realities. You will learn about key theories and ideologies and gain new perspectives on current issues, such as identity, security and surveillance, multiculturalism, ethics and populism. The course is taught by world-renowned academics from two highly ranked University of Southampton schools – Winchester School of Art and Politics and International Relations. In addition, external speakers from arts, cultural, policy and political organisations will bring their insights to the course and help you to build networks for the future. You will graduate with in-depth knowledge, finely tuned intellectual and critical skills and a fresh approach to current issues forged by cross-disciplinary study. These skills and qualities will be sought after in a range of sectors where cultural politics has emerged as an area of critical importance, such as arts and culture, local and central government, politics and campaigning, and the media.

Course programme

Year 1

The two core taught modules in Semester 1, Cultural Politics: Theories (20 ECTS/40CATS) and Methods of Cultural Inquiry (10 ECTS/20 CATS), provide the conceptual underpinnings, critical research perspectives and empirical examples in relation to understanding cultural, political, and methodological relationships.

In Semester 2, you will study three taught modules: one 10 ECTS/20 CATS core module, Cultural Politics: Practices and two option modules from a range offered by WSA and Politics and International Relations. The options are subject to change from year to year. You will receive guidance from the Programme Leader in making your option module selection. To ensure equity of experience across the programme and a comprehensive approach to content, you will be guided to select one option from Art and one option from Politics.

The independent dissertation is a core module (15,000 words), and is undertaken during the summer on successful completion of Semester 2 modules and is worth 30 ECTS/60 CATS.
