Bachelor of Arts [B.A] [Politics - Arts] From University College Cork

Politics is available in all three years of the BA degree, and you may study it as a single, major, or joint honours subject.

Politics is built around three pillars with contributions from the Department of Government, the School of History and School the Department of Philosophy.

Written exams will take place before Christmas and in May. Not all modules have formal examinations. Many modules use other types of assessment.

Core research and communication skills are developed through traditional methods such as reviews, in-class tests and essays.

We also use creative assessment techniques including:

• poster design

• policy reports

• individual and group presentations

• participation in negotiation simulation exercises designed around international institutions

• writing opinion editorials and completing funding applications

The varied assessment profile is designed to ensure that you acquire diverse skills during your degree.
