Politics, BA (Hons)

Studying Politics enhances understanding of the interplay between the state, political ideas, developments, and society, fostering critical and political thinking for engaging in contemporary debates. The BA (Hons) Politics degree employs an interdisciplinary approach, exploring politics through perspectives in sociology, social policy, criminal justice, philosophy, and history. Students debate alongside peers with diverse viewpoints, gaining appreciation for modern politics' multidimensional nature, and analyse how political ideas shape daily lives, public affairs, social experiences, and identities—while being influenced by global issues like race, gender, environment, media, and poverty.The programme builds transferable skills valued by employers, including analysis, evaluation, problem-solving, communication, time management, organisation, and teamwork, adaptable to various professions. Placement Year and International Experience Year options are available post-enrolment at Bangor; details on our website.
