Programme overview
This exciting and distinctive programme combines a solid grounding in political science, international relations, and the history of political thought in year one, followed by a range of more specialised options in years two and three. It is one of very few single honours degree programmes in the UK to allow students to combine Politics and International Studies.
The content of our programme is influenced by our research interests that are nationally and internationally recognised and positioned at the forefront of academic debate. Our academics bring the latest political thinking into their undergraduate teaching.
Staff at the Cornwall Campus have particular research interests and expertise in quantitative and qualitative methods, electoral behaviour, American politics, media, political psychology, security, terrorism and international politics, political theory, and radicalisation and ethnic conflict.
Our programmes produce graduates who can engage imaginatively in the process of understanding and analysing complex and sophisticated problems by using critical approaches that blend detailed and broad levels of analysis.
