"The course will develop a knowledge and understanding of the role politics plays in relation to current national and global issues as well as providing the opportunity to study key thinkers and political ideas/philosophies." The subject combines well with most disciplines but especially History, English, Economics, Business, Geography, Media and Psychology as well as a good contrasting option for scientists and medics looking to widen their experience and gain an understanding of the impact of political decisions on their chosen field.
Since this is a new subject for all students, there are no formal requirements and no prior knowledge will be assumed. However, students require a good standard of written English, an interest in current affairs would be advantageous and a willingness to join in discussion. Successful candidates are those who are able to use their study time effectively to develop their knowledge and understanding of current political debate. As such there is an expectation that students read newspapers, journals and watch television news as well as use social media to supplement the course materials.
