Power is at the heart of politics – how it works, who gets it, how it’s used and its impact on society.

At a time of growing political uncertainty and declining levels of trust, our engaging courses bring current issues to the classroom to help you understand how politics is shaped at local, national and international levels.

We are ranked 4th in the UK for overall student satisfaction* in politics by the National Student Survey 2025.

92% of our undergraduate and 100% of our postgraduate taught and research politics students go on to employment or further study (Graduate Outcomes 2025, HESA).
