Politics (BA)

Our BA in Politics allows you to explore how political institutions and actors function (or fail to), and to evaluate ideas such as power, freedom, democracy, conflict, legitimacy and accountability. A key feature of our programme is the ability to explore a wide and varied range of topics, giving you both a robust foundational understanding and the opportunity to explore areas of interest to you and your future career. These include the nature of political thought, comparative governance, populism, elections and public opinion, the government and politics of the UK, US and the EU, the politics of justice, public policy, and modern Welsh politics. You’ll also have the opportunity to choose from some of our international relations modules.
