Politics

Study politics in action. Recognise influential power structures and debates, and equip yourself to tackle politics in practice.

You will learn about politics in the UK, Europe, and across five continents. We are home to the internationally recognised Sussex European Institute, and we’ll develop your understanding of current events and long-term trends of politics across the globe.

You will be taught by experts. We house Sussex’s internationally renowned Centre for the Study of Corruption, and bring you cutting edge insights across topics ranging from populism and state capture to environmental politics.

You’ll develop career-facing skills. Our teaching team includes leading journalists, speech-writers and practitioners who will teach their craft in masterclasses and guest lectures, helping to prepare you for your future.

We also offer an award-winning programme, including competitive internships with Westminster MPs. Through this programme, we will equip you with career-facing experiences, skills and connections.
