Our programme will kick start your career. At Plymouth you’ll build your critical thinking skills as well as your understanding of politics so you can be a part of the next generation leading change and tackling some of the major issues we face as a society. We place Politics in a broad setting – looking beyond Westminster and Washington to both the global and the hyperlocal. Our curriculum spans geographies and ideologies, allowing you to understand, compare and contrast political systems. Engage in critical current issues from security to the environment, gender and identity, while learning from research-active staff who are leaders in their subjects and are involved in real-world political campaigns. Apply your skills in relevant settings through our extensive range of placements and work experience opportunities and our connections in parliament and on the local political and NGO scene, with organisations like Shelter. Hone your skills in practical, real-world scenarios and learn how to campaign for a local constituency. Be assessed in authentic ways so you are ready to take that next step in politics when you graduate, with a focus on writing briefings and creating campaigning materials. Have a go at representing the UK at the Earth Summit on one of our simulations, which are a unique and important part of the way we teach. At Plymouth, your degree really is what you make it. From the second year, you can choose to add in modules from across the School of Society & Culture, broadening your perspective on the politics of the past with a module in History or by learning how society functions and evolves with a module in Sociology. Field trips and guest speakers will help you connect more directly with the world of politics, including a first-year trip to London where an MP gives us a behind the scenes tour of the House of Commons. Our active political scene on campus means you can join up with any of the political parties. What our students think: “Plymouth University provides a wide perspective of politics and international relations across the world allowing for your own ideas to be challenged and expanded.” – James Stoneman, International Relations and Politics, now youngest councillor on the Plymouth City Council
