Overview

Are you interested in the extensive and powerful relationship between business and politics, and how each influences the other?

Taught by experts from both the Schools of Politics and International Relations and Business and Management, this joint honours degree will give you an excellent grounding in politics and develop your understanding of management techniques and the forces at work in business.

The programme is tailored around these two closely connected disciplines, teaching you to critically examine the politics of business and public organisations. Core modules cover political theory, ideas and ideologies, government and institutions; and key business practices like accounting, marketing, human resources and organisational innovation.

As you progress in your studies you can select modules according to your areas of interest and feel ready for your chosen career path. You will graduate with significant political knowledge and analytical skills, and a working knowledge of the real-world strategies and processes used by contemporary businesses.

Testimonial

We live in a world ruled by politics and business. Studying both these subjects allows me to understand how and why society functions the way it does. The way the programme is structured allows you to debate and interact with other people who have very different ideologies to yours and you begin to acknowledge and have an influence on not only your ideologies but other people as well.

Teaching

Teaching and learning

You’ll receive approximately eight to 12 hours of weekly contact time, in the form of formal lectures and small group seminars. The seminars are designed to generate informed discussion around set topics and may involve student presentations, group exercises and role-play as well as open discussion.

You’ll complete a further 20 hours of independent study a week.

Assessment

Students are assessed by a combination of coursework and exams. A few modules are assessed by coursework only.
