Studying politics at Hull takes you to the heart of the contemporary political debate.
We'll encourage you to question conventional wisdom and your preconceived ideas. And you'll graduate with the ability to operate as a political analyst, theorist, historian, or an actual politician or political activist.
Focus on the most important topics and debates in past and contemporary politics while questioning both conventional wisdom and your preconceived ideas. You can gain a unique head start in your career with the opportunity to complete a semester abroad or an internship, either in Westminster or with one of our public- and private-sector partners such as the Hansard Society, the Humber Local Economic Partnership, or the Royal Armouries Museum in Leeds.
