- Get expert perspectives on contemporary political issues
- Study abroad for one semester in the US, and apply for funding to help cover the cost
On this course you’ll study practical and theoretical aspects of politics, looking at contemporary perspectives on key political topics and developing critical analyses of political structures and institutions to gain insights into past, present and future areas of political concern, with both local and global impact.
Focusing on real-life political decision-making, agencies and policies, you’ll examine relevant debates from historical, philosophical and sociological contexts. Our historically-focused modules will give you the chance to view American, British and European politics over the long term, while others will allow you to explore sociological and criminological debates closer to the present. You’ll also be able to develop strands of specialisms in global and international issues, local political concerns, and political activity and activism, choosing from optional modules that will add extra dimensions to your study.
You’ll be taught by leading historians, sociologists, criminologists and political scientists, giving you expert perspectives on contemporary political issues. Our course will encourage you to consider issues that reach more widely than traditional political theory or the politics of parliamentary debate, such as: the history and forms of protest and activism; the politics of the new media; the politics of sustainability and energy; and contemporary questions about devolution and the demassification of state power. While examining domestic, European and international themes in politics, you’ll also have the chance to consider the practical implications of the work involved in making policy decisions.
Careers
This degree will equip you for many careers, including work with local government, charities and NGOs, but also with European and international organisations and agencies. You might also explore career paths in the public services and criminal justice system, future energy policy and planning, security, negotiation and peacekeeping, or communication and media.
While on the course, you’ll have the option to take language modules, which will prepare you for work in international political contexts including UN conflict resolution and diplomacy.
Or you might decide to continue your studies and take a masters course, such as our MA International Relations, MA Sociology or MA Criminology.
Placements
We work with employers to make sure you graduate with the knowledge, skills and abilities they need. They help us review what we teach and how we teach it – and they offer hands-on, practical opportunities to learn through work-based projects, internships or placements.
