As a politics student, you'll look at the work of governments and their policies and study the behaviour of those who govern - and who they are governing - both at home and abroad. You'll also gain knowledge of domestic and international institutions and issues relating to conflict and cooperation. We cover diverse and relevant issues, such as international terrorism to the 2014 Scottish Independence Referendum. Politics & International Relations students benefit from opportunities for university internships, employer placements, international exchanges and work as paid research assistants for leading academics. Politics graduates can go on to work in a number of areas, with many pursuing academic research careers in the UK, Europe and North America. Our main focus in psychology is the study of human behaviour. Studying with us, you'll look at conditions of behaviour - how we learn, remember, coordinate our actions and interact with others - and the reasons for differences between individuals, such as personality or intelligence.
