BA (Hons) Politics (Sustainability)

This exciting degree in Politics employs cutting-edge teaching and research methods to provide you with a unique insight into the political process. Delivered by experienced, expert and enthusiastic academics, it combines political concepts, ideas, values and institutions, and explores the relationship between political theory and practice. Your learning experience will go beyond observing and studying, and prepare you for engaging with politics in your career. Our core placement scheme offers opportunities that have seen former students work in parliament and MPS’ constituency offices – seeing politics-making from the inside, and providing a great basis for professional development.

The impacts of climate change and environmental degradation mean that sustainability is one of the greatest challenges facing human society today. Students on the sustainability pathway will explore the relationships between environmental, social and economic systems, at every level from the local to the global. You will critically analyse the root causes of climate change and challenge the inadequacy of official responses, including COP26. In following this pathway, you will develop the skills required to contribute to the social and political change necessary for a sustainable future.
