BA (Hons) Politics and International Relations & Psychology

... United Kingdom
... University of Strathclyde

Course Overview

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 & International Relations students benefit from opportunities for university internships, employer placements, international exchanges and work as paid research assistants for leading academics.

Politics graduates can go on to work in several areas, with many pursuing academic research careers in the UK, Europe and North America.

Our primary focus in psychology is the study of human behaviour. Studying with us, you'll look at behaviour conditions – how we learn, remember, coordinate our actions and interact with others – and the reasons for individual differences, such as personality or intelligence.

Due to the popularity of the course and performance criteria for entry into Honours (Year 4), the numbers admitted to Years 2 and 3 of the course are limited.

Our BA degrees in Humanities & Social Sciences are initially broad-based. In Year 1, you'll study three subjects, including your chosen topic (s).
