Politics MA (Hons)

Politics studies the theory and practice of how societies are governed.<br/><br/>How do our political institutions create collective rules? Who has the power to make these rules, and what are the consequences of political decisions? What is the nature of a just society, and how do we get there?<br/><br/>Drawing on the expertise of leading academics and researchers in the field, you will explore the origins and present-day contexts of societal conflicts about power, participation, and resources.<br/><br/>You will not only study the processes of governance at the local, national, and international level, but also the morality of political action, and the limits of freedom and justice.
