A politics degree will provide students with an understanding of the key dynamics of different political systems worldwide, how governments deal with crises, debt, human rights and the nature of society. Modules will include international relations, global histories and modern political thought.
Students of politics will learn about the ethical and empirical questions relating to the roles and limits of state power, a nation's obligations to other countries, and differences in political institutions and cultures in an international system.
Politics graduates work in local, national, and international government, as well as in a wide range of other professions in sectors such as media, teaching, finance, and not-for-profit.
Entry requirements vary for each Irish university, but international students will need an IELTS score of 6.5 overall, no lower than 6.0 in each component, and an International Baccalaureate score of 34 points.
