Politics and Global Studies BA (Hons)
The programme aims to offer students the opportunity to understand the complex political and global issues which dominate the contemporary world. Many of these involve the United States, and its post-Cold War and post-9/11 relations with other nations involving economic globalisation, the rise of a global culture through technological interconnection, the intersections of global/regional/local politics, environmental dislocations and the alleged clash of civilisations.
Modules explore the position of the changing dynamics of the global environment from the perspectives of the USA, the Middle East, Europe, China and other nations enmeshed in the international system. This focus is set against the competing power structures and alliances posed by regional and potential global competitors such as Japan, India and Russia. Study also examines the rise of rogue states and institutions and the challenges that they, and other factors such as energy insecurity and environmental degradation, present to nation-states and global governance.

Our students are well equipped to successfully progress in a number of careers. Many students go on to careers in politics, government, economics, business, marketing and academia. Recent examples have included placements working for local Liberal Democrat, and Conservative councillors, work on the 2011 campaign for UK electoral reform, interning at the Institute for Cultural Diplomacy in Berlin, Winchester City Council and Age Concern UK.
Many of our graduates choose to go into further study in the area, continuing at the University of Winchester in the MSc in Managing Contemporary Global Issues in Environment and Development, but also going on to related study in politics, international relations, psychology, American studies and many other disciplines.
The Destinations of Leavers from Higher Education (DLHE) record collects information about what those completing university go on to do six months after graduation. The Careers Service undertakes DLHE on an annual basis through surveys and a data collection process. DLHE is designed and strictly controlled by HESA.
While DLHE provides accurate information about first destinations, this data needs to be viewed with some degree of care. Six months after leaving university is often a time of much uncertainty and change for leavers; many will be unsure of their long-term career plans and may take a temporary job or time out. The destinations of graduates only six months out of university do not necessarily reflect longer term career success and are therefore a crude measure of employability. Therefore, DLHE data should be viewed as merely a 'snapshot' of one particular year's experiences at a specific point in time.
