What the college says

Studying politics creates passionate, informed individuals. It is ideal for students interested in the news, that debate with friends and family and that show a keen interest in life beyond their own surroundings. Politics students think it matters to understand who has power, why they have it and what they do with it; and the course enables them to tackle such issues. Students will study both UK politics and global politics. Politics can be combined with science for contrast, or with other humanities subjects for depth.
