Politics and International Relations deals with the fundamentals of power and governance, and how they operate. Studying politics enables students to develop the skills necessary to analyse arguments, think critically, and communicate effectively. These are all transferrable skills that can enhance study in other disciplines, and that are highly valued in all professions. Students can choose from a range of history units that will equip them with a strong foundation in political studies.
