This degree gives you the chance to really think deeply about some of the big debates going on in the world right now. You'll discuss questions of ethics, justice, legitimacy and human rights, and use your knowledge of philosophy and political theory to underpin your arguments. You'll learn about the thoughts of major figures such as Plato, Kant and Marx, as well as those of less well known figures, and analyse how these theories can be applied to current political debates.
Examine ideas about human nature and the theory behind global politics – applying a unique skillset to take on the existential challenges facing humanity.
Are we doing enough to address climate change? Is violence or torture ever justified? Should animals have the same rights as humans?
With a true 50/50 balance of modules from each department, you’ll have the chance to cover international relations, public policy, philosophy of education, feminism – as well as western political thought, and everyone from Plato to the French existentialists.
This is a course with a global perspective. Our staff come from and research countries around the world, meaning they bring their own experiences and specialisms into the modules they teach. And you also have the option to gain your own experience, extending your studies with a year abroad during your degree.
Throughout your course, you’ll gain a whole host of transferable skills and knowledge that apply to a range of different careers – from local, national, and international government, to the charitable sector and the media.
