classes in Political
Theory and New British
Politics, both the
lecturers and class
teachers know and love
their subjects and that

and sparks interest in
those subjects."

A
sound understanding in
political systems,
behaviours and ideas
All our degrees will give you a sound understanding in political systems,
political behaviour and political ideas. As one of the larger political science
departments in Europe we are able to cover a wide range of approaches and
specialisms relating to virtually all aspects of politics, which allows you to
select from a large number of courses and modules.
As a graduate from the department you will be well-equipped for
a range of careers and you
can leave Essex knowing that you have been taught by teachers and researchers at
the forefront of their field.
