Politics with Global Religions Bachelor of Arts (with Honours) - BA (Hons)

Examine important global issues such as declining trust in democracy, climate change, migration and crime, and cover topics as diverse as the politics of gender in Islam and kingship, power and the Goddess in India.

You’ll study politics at local, regional, national and global levels and gain an in-depth understanding of how religious practices, values and identities influence political issues and thought in a globalised world.

The course includes a Parliamentary Studies module that is run in conjunction with the UK Parliament. In addition, you can take part in a dedicated Politics Policy School, delivered with the government’s Open Innovation Team.

You’ll take approximately two thirds of your core modules in Politics and one third in Global Religions, with optional modules in a range of subjects. While the degree covers religions in Africa, South Asia and the Muslim world and more, you will have flexibility to develop your own pathway by choosing Politics modules that align to your interests.

In the final year, your dissertation is an opportunity to research and write about a topic of your choosing, with guidance from our expert tutors at every step of the way.
