COURSE DESCRIPTION

The Bachelor of Arts will equip you for today’s rapidly changing world. You will develop skills and capacities necessary to understand how the world has come to be the way it is today.

Your politics major involves examining the origins and nature of power, consent, authority, and consensus that underpin social and global order. In this specialisation you will examine and explore political institutions, culture, class, gender, ethnicity, political economy, political theory and international relations.

You will gain an understanding of how politics operates on many levels—from the gender politics of the bedroom, home or workplace to the government of nation states, and into the international realm. Whether it is a country being studied, relations between countries, or a body of political ideas, studying politics helps you engage with complex ideas about the individual, government and society.

The Bachelor of Arts (Politics) offers subjects that examine Australian politics, political theory, comparative politics, the politics of regions, the media, political economy and international peace and security. We encourage you to study as broadly as possible across the areas offered by the Politics discipline. In third year, you have the opportunity to apply to undertake an internship in political institutions, both in Australia and overseas.

In addition to the Politics major you will choose a minor or a second major from the Bachelor of Arts offerings.
