Politics
Bachelor of Arts (with Honours) - BA (Hons)University of the Highlands and Islands (UHI)
Course details
Course description
Have politics - with a small and a capital 'p' - ever been so mainstream as they are today? With the rise of social media giving people of all ages access to their own platform, much is discussed but how much is understood?
Explore the three main areas of political study - political theory, international relations, and comparative politics - and gain a solid understanding of current debates and controversies. Develop intellectual independence and autonomy as you hone your skills in debating, investigation, research, teamwork, and critical analysis. Enjoy visits from guest speakers, and take part in workshops and masterclasses to refine your abilities, with the option to study a placement module in the third year, based in a political environment, to gain invaluable experience in the field.
**Please note that UHI North Highland, UHI Outer Hebrides and UHI West Highland have changed their names to become UHI North, West and Hebrides. This will not impact on your choice of course or how and where you will study.**
