Undergraduate

Politics with Gaelic Studies

UK University

Overview

This page covers Politics with Gaelic Studies across the departments we work with, including what each asks for and what it charges. It is a three year undergraduate degree, with the specialism widening as you move through the years.

Teaching in Politics is assessed largely through essays and problem questions, so written English carries the course as much as the subject knowledge does.

Applications open around a year ahead of the intake. Getting the documents together early is what keeps the September date realistic.
