BA (Hons) Politics and Social Change

From climate change to extreme poverty, society faces a series of urgent challenges. This course provides you with an understanding of the political world that created these crises, along with the creative and digital skills required to contribute towards solutions.

In the Global Challenges Lab, we support you to conduct independent research projects that investigate solutions to current global issues. You will learn how to communicate your ideas, making films, podcasts and data visualisations, designing political and social media campaigns, and writing policy papers and political speeches.

You will have opportunities to study global, national and local politics, environmental politics, the politics of sex and gender, political theory and the politics of protest and social movements. A choice of options allows you to shape your course to reflect your interests.

This course has your future employability at its heart. You’ll gain experience working with employers on live briefs, placements, and political campaigns. We support you to develop a portfolio of work to showcase your skills to future employers.

You will graduate as an experienced digital communicator and researcher who understands how to practically apply their skills to transform the world.
