Politics (Joint Honours and Major/Minor)

Politics in Combination with other subjects

Joint Honours Programmes

Students can opt to combine Politics with other subjects in two ways. One is a conventional joint honours degree. This enables students to take 50% of their options in Politics and 50% in another subject. This kind of degree allows students with an interest in two subjects to combine them into a coherent degree scheme.

Joint honours degrees are offered with Politics and the following:
Drama (LWFK), Economic and Social History (LV23), English (LQ23), Film and Television Studies (LWF6), French (LR21), German (LR22), History (LVG1), (VLC2*), Human Geography (LLT2), (LL72*), Information and Library Studies (PLC2), Modern History (V135), (VL1F*) Performance Studies (LWGK), Psychology (CL8F), Spanish (LR24), Welsh (LQ25*), Welsh History (LVG2), (LV22*)

* Denotes courses taught wholly or partly through the medium of Welsh.

Major/Minor Programmes

The second option is to take a Major/Minor degree whereby students pursue an intensive course of study in one subject, yet still combine this with another subject. Students spend up to two-thirds of their time in their Major department and one-third of their time in the Minor department.

Politics can be selected as the Major subject with the following:
French (L2RC), Law (L2MC), Welsh (L2Q5), (L2QM*).

* Denotes courses taught wholly or partly through the medium of Welsh.

Students who would like to consider a Major degree in Politics but are unsure which subject to select as your minor component, should apply for L202 (Politics – Major). This degree scheme allows students to select their Minor subject when they register.

Politics can be selected as the Minor subject with the following:
Business and Management (N1L2), Economics (L1L2), Law (M1L2), Marketing (N5LF), Welsh (Q5L2*)
