At Dundee we have a particular focus on comparative politics and the politics of security. However, the modules we offer cross the entire range of politics as a field of study.
Politics at Dundee takes pride in looking beyond the University itself. We regularly host speakers from the ‘real world’ of Scottish, British and international politics, including MPs and MSPs, American Foreign Service Officers and Government Ambassadors. Additionally, where possible, we encourage and assist students who wish to take up internships with the Scottish Parliament and Government and other bodies.
Our students also have the opportunity to take part in the Erasmus exchange programme with institutions in Denmark or Poland, or our Transatlantic Student Exchange to Australia, Canada, Hong Kong and USA.
We believe strongly in integrating our groundbreaking research with our teaching, and in areas such as Scottish politics, Russian politics, EU politics or international security you will benefit from being taught by a leading expert and author in that field. Two internationally recognised scholarly journals are edited by our politics staff: ‘The Journal of Transatlantic Studies’ and ‘Perspectives on European Politics and Society’.
While politics at Dundee is big enough to have a real international presence, it is still small and intimate enough to offer a friendly and responsive home for students from all backgrounds. This is more than a mere claim - independent surveys consistently rate politics at Dundee as among the best-received programmes in the country.
In Level 1 you will take modules which focus on areas such as ‘policy’ and ‘ideology’. This prepares you for the more specialised offerings on International Relations and Comparative Politics in Level 2. Later, in Levels 3 and 4 you will take more specialist modules (selected according to your particular degree pathway). These cover the territorial politics of the world, issues of peace and war and of crime and terrorism as well as the ‘politics of the personal’ in the sense of identity.
employability
Politics graduates from Dundee score highly in surveys of graduate employment. While you may not become a politician (though many of our students over the years have: as MPs, MSPs and MEPs), your degree will open up a range of opportunities in both the private and public services. In other words, the skills - personal, verbal and written - that you will acquire in your politics programme can be easily transferred to many walks of life. We have produced leading journalists, aides to First Ministers, civil servants, financiers, diplomats - and even the occasional secret agent!
