IntroductionThe BA (Hons) Politics programme is located within the Division of Peace Studies, an internationally recognised centre for excellence in teaching and research on peace and conflict issues. Staff teaching on the BA Politics programme are published experts in the field, with the Politics programme informed by our interest in contemporary global affairs and the drivers of conflict, violence and insecurity at local, regional and international level.

Politics is the study of power and influence, or conversely, marginalisation and exclusion. In seeking to understand ‘who gets what, when and how’, studying Politics involves exploring the processes by which decisions are made, the ideologies and behaviours that underpin them, and the mechanisms through which they are pursued and implemented. The BA Politics programme at the University of Bradford provides a solid grounding in political theory, concepts and analysis, it is international in focus and it is embedded in the unique Peace Studies perspective that while conflict and difference are natural, violence and war are not.

As you progress through the programme, you will develop knowledge and understanding of the ideas, actors and interests that shape politics and the struggle for influence. This will require you to engage with current events; to study unfamiliar concepts and topics; to critically engage with perspectives and judgments that conflict with your own; and to widen your intellectual horizons. Our methods of teaching and assessing develop your individual and team based ability to research, evaluate and present issues and debates, ensuring that when you graduate from your programme, you will have a range of subject specific and transferable skills

Your knowledge and learning on the BA Politics programme is built around a number of core modules that you have to take at each level; 6 in Stage 1, 3 in Stage 2 and 2 in Stage 3, in addition to a 15,000 word (maximum) dissertation on a subject of your choosing. The programme also provides flexibility, with option modules in related subject areas that include International Relations and Security Studies, Development, Peace Studies, History, Philosophy and English Literature. This reflects the multidisciplinary approach of Peace Studies, while enabling you to follow either specialised or multi-disciplinary study pathways.

Through Erasmus partnerships with the Universities of Brussels, Coimbra, Toulouse, Salamanca, Prague and Munich, and exchange programmes with the California State University (USA), Clarkson University (USA), Sogang University (Seoul, Korea), Hosei University (Tokyo, Japan) and Slippery Rock University (USA) we encourage you to consider undertaking a portion of your undergraduate programme studies overseas or add an extra year to your studies to graduate with an International Diploma based on extra work or study options overseas.

Teaching and Assessment Strategies

Teaching, learning and assessment is structured around a range of approaches that embed progression, which encourage you to apply your knowledge and take greater responsibility for your learning at each stage of your programme studies.

Through the core and optional modules you will experience a diversity of teaching styles. The approach of Peace Studies is to encourage interaction and the sharing of ideas by maximising your participation and engagement. Learning methods and

© University of Bradford 6

approaches include team based learning and group work, participatory lectures, seminars, simulations and detailed case study analysis. Social and broadcast media, Skype and podcasts are some of the digital learning technologies that are used to develop ideas and deepen your understanding of contexts and events. You will be familiarised with the use of our online learning tool Blackboard in the first week of your studies through the Stage 1 Study Skills module. The mixture of teaching and learning strategies will enable you to develop a range of intellectual and professional skills.

Throughout the programme, you will acquire skills that will be useful not only in Peace Studies, but in whatever profession you choose to follow. These will be taught, practised and assessed. They are listed on the front cover of this document as personal transferable skills. For example, through the project work in some of the modules you to learn skills in planning, negotiating, team working and presenting.

The programme has a diversity of assessment strategies that enable you to demonstrate your learning according to explicit and transparent criteria. The assessment strategies aim to develop and embed a range of discipline specific and generic skills that are determined by the aims and intended learning outcomes of the BA Politics programme. Please see the appendix for further details.

The assessments that you will undertake will develop your skills of researching, analysing, evaluating and critiquing ideas, information and approaches. You will develop a range of writing and transferable skills by demonstrating your learning in a range of different formats that include through book reviews, report writing, essays, team based learning, group presentations, personal reflection and formal examinations. In Stage Three, you will undertake a dissertation, a substantial project of autonomous research with one-to-one supervision from a member of staff.

Note that you are to identify your own placement opportunities, with support from the University and agreed by the Programme Director. The duration must be between 38 and 52 weeks. Your placement work is directed by the supervisor appointed by the provider, but you will be appointed an academic tutor who will remain in contact to check that integration into the workplace is proceeding and that the work being required of you is appropriate and at a later stage to assist and advise both you and your employer as to the requirements of the assessment process. Your performance during this placement will be considered (including a monthly diary, reflective end of placement report, oral presentation and placement supervisor assessment).

Placements or periods of study abroad will be recognised on the student transcript.
