Course code: FTB018
School of Humanities & Science
The Programme
The course will give students a foundation of political
knowledge with an emphasis on the contemporary politics and current
affairs. Students will explore the debate as to 'who gets what' in
British society. There will also be an international dimension to
the study of politics as we compare and contrast UK politics with
other systems of government. Key ideas such as freedom, justice and
equality will be evaluated as we try to make sense as to how they
are applied in reality. The programme content includes people and
politics; governing the UK; key themes in political analysis and
extended political themes. The modules will complement anyone who
is thinking about studying law, history and critical thinking.
Students will be expected to take a keen interest in current
affairs and keep abreast of what is going on in the world around
them. So if you like a good discussion and a course that will help
you think and critically evaluate issues as well as challenging and
stretching your imagination then this is the course for you. The
course is dangerous and subversive and contains word of mass
destruction. Be warned!
Learners will get a great deal out of the course and it should
equip them for general knowledge questions asked at university
interviews.
