ObjectivesA core training in the study of Politics is combined with the theoretical, global and multi-disciplinary perspective provided by International Studies modules. Four modules are taken in each year, and of the eight examined for the final degree, five are chosen from the lists of Options. There are various opportunities for you to undertake overseas study as part of the degree. You can apply to spend the Second Year of your degree at one of our exchange partner universities in the United States and still complete your Warwick degree in three years. There is also a half-year exchange programme in the Second Year with City University in Hong Kong. If you wish to spend the Third Year of your degree at an approved overseas university, you can apply during the summer term of your Second Year. You would then spend a Fourth Year completing your studies in the Department.
Entry requirementsGeneral university admissions requirements All applicants must possess a minimum level of competence in English Language and in Mathematics or a Science. A pass at Grade C or above in GCSE English Language and in Mathematics or a Science, or an equivalent qualification, fulfils this requirement. For some courses, requirements are above this University minimum, so you should check the relevant course-specific entry requirements in our hard copy prospectus which you can order online or browse on our online directory. We usually ask for candidates to show a broad base of study at GCSE level (or equivalent) with passes in at least five subjects from a range of disciplines.
