The Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Politics equips students to think critically and analytically about contemporary political issues and institutions. It allows students to understand the mechanics of a variety of political institutions, as well as topical issues, ideas and controversies. The aim of this course is to both deepen students' knowledge and understanding of politics and, in the process, to equip them to become sharper citizens to meet some of the major political challenges of the twenty-first century. The course progresses from a foundation in the key concepts of political practice and theory to an in-depth understanding of more specialised subjects such as populism, the EU, political violence, justice and British politics. It is structured around a number of subject areas arranged into modules, each of which is worth a number of credits. It is intended by the final year that students will have successfully completed 360 credits to graduate.
