Overview

Politics and International Relations (Political Theory) is taught at a number of UK universities, and the entry terms are set department by department rather than nationally. It is a one year postgraduate programme, so the pace is quick and the dissertation carries real weight.

Teaching in Politics covers the English legal system first, then opens into optional modules in the later years.

If you are comparing this against two or three other courses, send us all of them. We will set the entry terms and the fees side by side.
