Politics is all around us, and it’s moving fast. With our internationally renowned experts you’ll get to the very heart of political thinking. Explore the principles of power – how it’s won and how it’s used to drive the decisions that influence our daily lives. You’ll discover how issues such as poverty, debt, terrorism, ethnic conflict and environmental change affect us all, and investigate new powers like China and India. From 2017 you can opt to add an additional year to your course between year two and year three to study abroad - gaining valuable personal and employability skills.
