This integrated four-year route combines Year 0 of the International Foundation Programme with Warwick's degree in Politics. The International Foundation Programme provides a strong foundation in the key ideas, theories, and methods used to understand how societies function and change. You will develop the analytical, research, and communication skills needed to study social issues critically and engage with real-world challenges from multiple perspectives.Throughout the course, you will explore how social, political, and cultural forces shape our world, examining topics such as power, justice, identity, and cultural representations. You will also learn to evaluate evidence, interpret data, and present well-structured academic arguments. Alongside this, you will strengthen your ability to collaborate, debate, and think independently, which are skills essential for success in higher education and beyond. By the end of this first year, students will have developed the academic foundations and be well prepared to progress Year 1 of BA Politics.How does the political world function? Why and how are political decisions made? How should politics and society be organised? If these questions fascinate you, this degree could be for you. Delve into your political interests and explore answers to the questions you’ve always wanted to ask. Choose a specialism and learn how to think critically so you can make your contribution to debates about politics.Political Theory, Comparative Politics and the study of Political Systems provide the core of this degree, then you can choose options across the full range of modules or focus on specific pathways.You will tackle questions relating to the nature and distribution of power, the advantages and disadvantages of different political systems, gendered and racialised aspects of politics, and the role of ideology in determining political outcomes. You will critique how politics works in a number of different nations and question the appropriate level to analyse politics from the individual to the global system.You will also consider how the work of political theorists can help explain the ways in which politicians intervene in questions of economy, law-making, conflict and the regulation of our daily lives. You will apply these ideas to everyday political problems such as immigration, poverty, war and climate change.In our Politics BA, the first year does not count towards your final degree classification. However, all students are required to pass the first year of the degree programme in order to proceed to the Honours degree. The second year of study will contribute 40% and the final year of study will contribute 60% to the final degree result.
