As a politics student, you'll look at the work of governments and their policies and study the behaviour of those who govern - and who they are governing - both at home and abroad. You'll also gain knowledge of domestic and international institutions and issues relating to conflict and cooperation. We cover diverse and relevant problems, such as international terrorism to the 2014 Scottish Independence Referendum.
Politics graduates can go on to work in several areas, with many pursuing academic research careers in the UK, Europe and North America.
We also offer some of the best teaching in Human Resource Management (HRM) in Scotland and the UK.
HRM is about the relationship between employers and employees and how people are managed in the workplace. This covers areas such as recruitment and selection, training and developing and managing conflict at work. These are an essential part of the management process in all organisations.
