BA (Hons) Politics (with placement)

Politics is everywhere and everything. Understand it, and youll understand your own world, know its rules, and you can start to play the game on your own terms. This course is for the brave, the curious, and the rebels searching for a cause. It's about making the political personal, and being the kind of change you want to see.

At NTU, learning means doing. We focus on two things: great theory, and grassroots activism. Studying in Nottingham the UK's original rebel city, and a hotbed of revolution, insurrection, and political intrigue youll be applying your skills, passion and knowledge in the real world. Politics is a living, breathing subject, and youll analyse the big questions of how systems operate, how countries are governed, and how decisions are made. But youll also put the fundamentally human issues of social justice, morality and ethics under the microscope. Youll interrogate your own political identity and values, youll explore the ins and outs of today's most contentious political issues, youll take a deep dive into conspiracy theories, cover-ups, and secret histories.

Politics is a versatile and universally respected degree. Our graduates have become MPs, sustainability crusaders, motivational speakers, community leaders, and even successful entrepreneurs. This is your world, your time, and your stage well give you the tools, insights, and confidence to guarantee youre heard.
