Politics

Politics has been variously defined as the study of power, authority and conflict resolution. It is fundamentally about how groups within society interact with each other to further their own – and the community’s – interests. In this respect, societies have created states, governments and other political institutions to manage the process of conflict resolution.

Politics takes place at, and between, local, national and international levels, and the course provides students with a comprehensive overview of the concepts, ideas and practice of politics in an increasingly ‘globalised’ world. A wide variety of career opportunities for graduates can be found in government and non-governmental organisations, journalism and the media, teaching, social and public services and the international sphere.
