Politics in action 

Alumni Charlie Rainsford secured a Clearing place on the politics course at The University of Huddersfield and is now working in his dream job as a parliamentary researcher for shadow pensions minister and Labour MP Jack Dromey. 

As the world becomes more globalised, politics is changing. You need to know how decisions are made, and sometimes how compromises are arrived at. You will have the opportunity to gain work experience and be taught by lecturers who are experts in their field. Browse the courses below for information on course content, placements and careers.

Student testimonial

Yusuf studied Politics BSc(Hons) at the University of Huddersfield. At Huddersfield, we believe that politics is more than just a spectator sport. We believe that to study politics, you have to live, breathe and participate in politics.
