Politics, BA (Hons), with study abroad

Lancaster University offers a distinctive Politics, Philosophy, and Religion programme, unique in the UK, where students explore global events, national responses, and pressing issues like climate change and economic crises. Learn from experts in British, Russian, and Middle Eastern politics, engage in ethical debates, and gain practical skills through internships with the Richardson Institute for Peace Studies. In your final year, write a dissertation with expert guidance or participate in research projects with NGOs and think tanks to enhance career prospects.The programme emphasises a global perspective, with opportunities for a transformative year abroad at partner universities in regions like Australia, the USA, or Europe. This experience develops cultural awareness, expands professional networks, and allows study of specialised modules. If placements are unavailable, students can transfer to a standard three-year degree, with the university supporting transitions while noting no financial responsibility for the abroad period.
