Our Department of Politics is home to a lively community of energetic minds who closely examine how power operates and how it affects peopleÕs lives. This new and innovative course is unique in the UK, and focuses on the active role that citizens can play in shaping politics at local, national, and international levels.

Over the four or five years of the Public Affairs programme offered by the University of SurreyÊ(depending on whether you choose to take a Professional Training placement) youÕll be introduced to a variety of social and political issues, and be able to tailor your degree with specialist modules that match your interests. In your final year, youÕll follow masters level modules and complete a dissertation project.
