Politics, BSc - 2016/17

How are the societies in which we live governed? How are the key decisions that shape our lives made? Which groups hold power in the contemporary world? How have different national governments dealt with the financial crisis? Is democracy a force for good in the world? From general elections to the Arab Spring, our innovative and exciting programmes seek to situate the big issues of the day in their various historical and philosophical contexts, and thus facilitate clear and informed debate. We pride ourselves on the warm atmosphere and inclusive spirit of our programmes and learning environment. Our teaching has been awarded for its innovative character, particularly the student-centred nature of learning and assessment, while the research activities of our team mean that we are at the forefront of our disciplines.
