Full event details
Politics is about people and power: who gets it, how they use it and what makes a society fair.
Our innovative BSc (Hons) Politics course explores the active role that citizens can play in shaping politics internationally, nationally and locally. It explores those who make the decisions and how those decisions impact on others. A distinctive feature of the course is its emphasis on institutional structures, government and civil society, focusing on the way they bring about political and social change, whether at a local, national or international level.
Attend our subject taster to further discover politics and to inform your own study and career options.
