Overview
Politics and International Relations (with Integrated Foundation Year) is taught at a number of UK universities, and the entry terms are set department by department rather than nationally. It is a three year undergraduate degree, with the specialism widening as you move through the years.
Teaching in Politics is offered as a qualifying degree at most universities, which is the route that counts if you plan to practise in England or Wales.
Applications open around a year ahead of the intake. Getting the documents together early is what keeps the September date realistic.
