Study
We offer undergraduate, postgraduate masters and postgraduate research programmes in politics. All of our programmes will leave you with a set of skills that you can apply to any area of life, not just politics. We cover a wide range of topics from international intervention, European politics, electoral behavior and political psychology, terrorism, social policy and citizenship, political theory and political philosophy, political communication and the environment.
