From international terrorism to the 2014 Scottish Independence Referendum, we cover very diverse and relevant issues. As a politics student, you'll look at the work of governments and their policies and study the behaviour of those who govern - and who they are governing - both at home and abroad. You'll also gain knowledge of domestic and international institutions and issues relating to conflict and cooperation. Our politics graduates go on to work in a number of areas such as government, journalism, teaching and research, in both the public and commercial sector. Many also pursue academic research careers in the UK, Europe and North America.
