PROGRAMME DESCRIPTION
The interaction of people, ideas and institutions is central to shaping the outcomes of political processes and government decision-making at many levels, global, regional, national, and local. Accordingly, the BA in International Politics relates the study of politics to developing knowledge and understanding of the relations between government and society. Exploring those issues gives a central place to questions of political order and decision making.
The programme will equip students to think critically and
independently about these issues and to develop the range of skills
that will support their intellectual, vocational and personal
development. Students will be able to gather, organise and deploy
evidence, discriminate appropriately to synthesise relevant
information, construct reasoned arguments and reflect on their own
learning so as to be better equipped for life-long learning.
