UK Politics Courses

Introduction to UK politics studies for Malaysian students

A Politics degree at a UK university will provide students with an understanding of the key dynamics of different political systems worldwide, how governments deal with crises, debt, human rights and the nature of society.

Students will engage with ethical questions such as the role and limits of state power, the nature of a ‘good society’, and one nation’s obligations to another. You will also consider empirical questions such as how we explain differences in political institutions and culture, and the nature of the international system. Modules will include international relations, global histories and modern political thought.

Careers in Politics

Politics graduates work in local, national, and international government, as well as in a wide range of other professions in sectors such as media, teaching, finance, and not-for-profit.
