COURSE DESCRIPTION

This degree has a global outlook based on the idea that political developments at the most local level are connected to broader global contexts. On this course you will gain the knowledge and skills to participate in the politics of a globalised world.

You will learn about the interconnected levels of politics – from local to national and international. It also closely examines human rights and social justice, and questions of how we might make the world a safer and fairer place.

With a focus on active citizenship embedded into our programme we will encourage you to make a contribution to political life in your communities and to become an active participant in a democratic society. You will have access to our Centre for Human Rights Practice and annual events such as our Human Rights Festival.
