What the college says

Global Politics offers students the opportunity to understand the complexity of politics within the world through exploring current affairs. In an ever changing world, students get to see where they fit within it, providing an exciting and fresh new perspective on their role in the world. Students have an opportunity to study everything from local to national and international issues, including those which may be affecting them directly. In the first year students study four topics: Power, sovereignty and international relations; Human rights; Development; and Peace and Conflict. In the second year students conduct their own engagement activity with a political issue of their choice. They also explore case studies of their choosing on the topics of the environment and identity.
