Politics studies the theory and practice of how societies are governed. How do our political institutions create collective rules? Who has the power to make these rules, and what are the consequences of political decisions? What is the nature of a just society, and how do we get there? Drawing on the expertise of leading academics and researchers in the field, you will explore the origins and present-day contexts of societal conflicts about power, participation, and resources. You will not only study the processes of governance at the local, national, and international level, but also the morality of political action, and the limits of freedom and justice.
Programme benefits* Study under leading academics and researchers in the field. * Home to the Scottish Parliament, the city of Edinburgh offers the perfect location in which to study politics. * Our alumni include government ministers, Members of Parliament, policy analysts, broadcasters, business leaders, teachers and an increasing number of social entrepreneurs.
