A Politics degree from the University of Surrey gives you the opportunity to study how power operates in the real world and to develop the skills to make sense of that world – all while studying at a world-class, research-intensive institution. During your time in the School of Politics, you will learn about mainstream political institutions and theories alongside more critical approaches. Therefore you will be encouraged to learn about identity, citizenship, social movements and change. On top of this, you will also be exposed to a number of international issues and theories, as we consider these to be central to the study of politics in the twenty-first century.

All of our programmes are 3 or 4 years in length dependent on whether you combine a Professional Training Year into your studies, either in the form of a European (Erasmus) or International Study Exchange or Work Placement.
