• Course description
  The study of contemporary politics is centrally concerned
  with power, collective decision making, justice, conflict, (in)equality and
  citizenship. Politics in the 21st century must consider what role the media
  plays in these processes, including reinforcing and challenging who gets what,
  how, why, and where. This course integrates political theory and practice.
  
  You’ll learn about politics through the lens of a variety of
  disciplines: political science, international relations, anthropology, media,
  marketing, journalism, digital communications, economics, psychology, history,
  and philosophy. This interdisciplinary approach provides you with rich insights
  into politicians, political systems and organisations at local, national and
  international levels.
  
  You can attend a wide variety of extra-curricular activities
  including conferences as well as field trips to locations such as Westminster,
  Brussels, and local government and charities. You’ll also have global
  opportunities through our study abroad programme and a range of internationally
  focused activities on and off campus. What’s more, you’ll complete a work
  placement during your course and can decide whether to do four or 30 weeks,
  which will help you foster professional relationships, build contacts and
  ultimately hand you invaluable experience.
  
  This course helps you become a reflective, critical citizen
  ready for a range of careers as a politician, civil servant, working at
  nongovernmental organisations (NGOs), or representing organisations who need
  politically shrewd and media-savvy employees.
