We specialise in politics in action: understanding the theory of politics, but also how it is applied in the world beyond the classroom and lecture theatre. You will be able to complement your academic studies with a field trip to New York to explore global governance organisations such as the United Nations; undertake consultancy work placements as a part of some assessed modules, giving you the
opportunity to apply theoretical material; and explore and participate in social movement activity. Our current research and teaching specialisms cover American and electoral politics, politics of protest and environmental movements, critical security studies, Middle East politics, International relations, European governance, Chinese politics, environmental politics, regional politics and political theory. We know that whilst you want to study for a degree because you are fascinated and excited by the topic, that you also want to have the opportunity to develop skills that will help you in the workplace in the future. To this end, and to complement the excellent employability opportunities offered throughout the university at the Penryn campus (including the Exeter Award), we embed work related skills across our programme, even offering a 15 credit work placement module. Finally, we are a small and friendly department, giving you unparallelled access to, and support from academic and administrative staff. Your education is important to us, and we enjoy teaching you, througout your degree programme. This is reflected in the outstanding results that our students achieve by the time they graduate.
