This cutting-edge degree places sexuality and gender at the heart of political study, taking an inclusive and intersectional approach. You will dive into critical issues like reproductive politics, trans* rights, and the rise of ‘anti-gender’ movements, exploring them through feminist, queer and trans* theory. Customise your studies with option modules that align with your passions, and gain hands-on experience through practice-based projects that tackle global challenges. Placements with local feminist and LGBTQI+ groups provide real-world experience. You will graduate equipped with the knowledge and skills to make a meaningful impact in the field.
We offer three other politics undergraduate courses.- Politics BA(Hons)- Politics and International Relations BA(Hons)- Politics and Social Change BA(Hons)
