There has never been a more exciting time to study politics. Rapid changes in domestic, regional and global politics have a daily impact on our lives, from traditional party politics to new forms of direct action in global settings.

At the University of Nottingham, you are taught by the leading specialists in the most current developments in comparative and global politics as well as political theory. The strength of the school is particularly marked in the fields of security, social and global justice, international history and comparative British politics.
