Studying politics trains you in skills that are important to any number of future careers; you learn how to argue persuasively, to analyse carefully and to make well-informed decisions. Politics is taught by a lively and committed group of teachers, who all link their teaching to their research. New interests and concerns, therefore, become part of your studies. We also review and update our teaching constantly, introducing new techniques and topics. Our aim is to provide a degree that both gives you the foundations of the subject, while allowing you to explore key developments as they happen.
