1. Programme Aims
- To introduce the concepts and principles that underpin politics, informed by research that fosters critical and independent thought.
- To introduce students to debates about power and distribution which lie at the heart of politics (‘who gets what, when, how and why’) and hone the analytic skills required to determine the legitimacy of distributions.
- To engage students in debates about political events, institutions and ideas as a route to their engagement in politics as citizens and actors in the global political arena.
- To familiarise students with the methodological and theoretical assumptions which underpin political arguments.
- To familiarise students with key concepts in critical political analysis, including power, justice, accountability, order, dissent, violence, sovereignty, governance and decision-making.
- To combine the study of politics with related disciplines in humanities and social sciences and to enable students to extend, apply and/or reflect on their learning through training in the UK or abroad and/or through the study of a modern language.
2. Relevant subject benchmark statements and other external reference points used to inform programme outcomes:
