Overview
The Politics course offered by the University of Essex is distinctive from our other Masters in that it allows you complete freedom of choice over the modules you take. It gives a background to the study of politics, but isn’t as preoccupied with theory and methods as our other Masters courses.
You explore topics as wide-ranging as:
- Global environmental problems
- The economy and the state
- International relations
- Theories of justice
- Public opinion
