Politics is the study of how power is organised and used, nationally and internationally. Power relations affect every aspect of our lives, determining what we think, say and do, and how we co-operate to make the world a better place.


So much of what we see in the news is about politics, including Brexit, the US election, the Syrian conflict, and the Treaty of  Waitangi. By studying politics, you will gain a balanced, analytical and insightful understanding of topics that may be sensationalised in the media. Empower yourself to know the difference: study Politics.


Consider what you stand to gain from a better understanding of people and power, conflict and co-operation. By studying Politics, you will get to know power intimately and acquire the insight and skills to use power for the betterment of yourself, society, and the world.


Politics is a practical field of study that will empower you to understand and take part in responsible decision-making. It is also an intellectually stimulating field.


The knowledge and skills acquired from studying Politics will not only empower you to make a difference, but are very attractive to future employers.
