Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - Politics and Sociology

Politics at Chester is both theoretical and applied. It is about decision-making, conflict resolution and power, and explores the role of the state, government and institutions. Politics at Chester asks how the world structures society and how society structures people, and presents opportunities to engage with and critique the key political ideas, processes and institutions both domestically and in the world today. The teaching team brings a wealth of experience and knowledge. The school may also invite guest lecturers to provide specialist sessions and where appropriate, facilitate visits to political institutions and events with regional MPs and local authorities. The programme has taken students out of the traditional classroom and into a wide variety of field trips, even visiting the EU parliament in Brussels in the past. We have also arranged activities such as voter registration drives.
