Overview

This page covers Social and Political Sciences 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 offered as a qualifying degree at most universities, which is the route that counts if you plan to practise in England or Wales. We currently work with 2 universities on this course.

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