Why Lancaster?
  • Gain a sophisticated, interdisciplinary understanding of global issues by joining a department that combines politics, philosophy and religion – the only one of its kind in the UK
  • Choose a course designed to explore how global events shape national policies, and how the world responds to one nation’s actions
  • Hone your debating skills and your ability to make a compelling case
  • Hear from our experts on the latest world events and the findings from their research into British, Russian and Middle Eastern politics
  • Gain practical experience and boost your job prospects with an internship with our in-house Richardson Institute for Peace Studies

Explore the fascinating relationship between politics and world affairs. Our expert researchers will show you the ways global policymaking ripples around the globe and impacts on people and nations.

How policies are made

From day one, we’ll help you build the knowledge you need for the rest of your degree. This will include exploring everything from the key concepts and debates of modern politics, and the inner workings of national and international institutions.

As part of our Politics, Philosophy and Religion department, you’ll have a teaching team unlike any other in the UK. You’ll be the first to hear about the latest research carried out by our experts, and how it is used to inform policy setting both nationally and internationally. You’ll also have plenty of opportunities to join fascinating events and get involved with modern political debates.

Applying your knowledge

You’ll have the option to research and write a dissertation in your final year. This will be a major piece of work based around your own interests. Tutors will help you at every step of the way, from choosing your topic to sending in your final paper. Previous topics have included ‘Diplomatic relations between Russia and Belarus’ and ‘Examining EU-Ukrainian-Russian relations (2004-2014)’.

Want to add experience to your CV? Apply for one of the internships offered every year by the Richardson Institute for Peace Studies, based in our department. These are research projects in external organisations such as NGOs, think tanks, charities and faith-based organisations.

A lively department

Several staff are involved in national and international advisory groups and our students benefit from these connections. We have extra-curricular events such as conferences, talks and seminars taking place throughout the year.

Our students take part in the many clubs and societies that are supported by Lancaster University Student’s Union. There are many international societies representing different countries, as well as the Politics Society (which is independent of any particular political leaning), societies for all main UK political parties, debating society, InterVol and many more. There are regular events, debates, trips and high profile visiting speakers, which provide numerous ways to get involved and meet other students who share your interests.
