Bachelor of Arts [B.A] [Politics] From Leeds Beckett University

Critically explore politics and examine some of the pressing issues facing us today, such as climate change, human rights, migration, and the crisis of capitalism. Students also will explore how the role of the state, international power relations, ethics, and political movements and ideologies such as Marxism have profound implications for the organisation of our society. In their second year and third year, they will have a choice of optional modules and a dissertation, which they can tailor to their interests.

A degree in at can take students and their careers in lots of different directions. They could work in education, policy research or campaigning. With vital skills in research analysis, critical thinking, communication, and teamwork, they could secure employment in the civil service, in the media or with charitable organisations. They could also take their studies further by selecting a course from our range of postgraduate programmes. We offer masters in International Political Economy, Peace & Development, International Human Rights Practice and International Relations.
