BA (Hons) Politics and International Relations,with foundation year

This is an intellectually demanding programme, taught by staff who are recognised for their research. That's reflected in the range of modules available, and in the flexibility of the degree. You can tailor it to fit your interests and career aspirations.

You’ll focus on the most important debates. Possession and exercise of power. Wealth and inequality. Individual and collective identity. The use of violence for political ends. And by examining them, you’ll gain critical insights into the global significance of politics.

All our 3-year courses offer the option to study abroad for a trimester, whether in Europe, the USA or Hong Kong. And through our internship opportunities, you’ll get access to Parliament or another politics-related placement.

At Westminster, you’ll work alongside an MP or peer. Our links with a large pool of MPs mean we can likely match you with a politician whose role reflects your area of interest. While on placement, you'll enjoy access to our exclusive seminar series presented by senior Parliamentary officials including Black Rod and the Speaker.
