Why Study A Masters In Politics & Media

By Alex Jones


Researching a masters degree in politics equips students well for future employability as well as extra study. Students will learn multiple analytical and practical skills for instance the ability to undertake research, oral and written communication and IT, all of which are valuable in today's profession market.

If that sounds like something you'd be interested in then many Universities offer a range of courses in Politics, each with their own specialism and slant on the subject. While Politics courses will differ across the board, they may include a number of similar constituent parts.

* A study of the United Kingdom. Studying our home politics is of course incredibly desirable to better understand our own society and culture. If that wasn't enough, the UK is currently a fascinating political case study, what with a coalition government, Parliaments in Scotland, Wales and London and our ever-shifting relationship with Europe and the Euro. On our home door step there is enough material for countless debates, so get involved!

* As the European Union strengthens both in size and power, people today need to be able to identify and interpret developments. The study of European politics also engages other European nations, contrasting them with British and other political systems. Many universities offer courses targeting on the politics of countries in parts of the world, such as the USA, Latin America, Asia, Africa or Australasia.

* Understanding Political theory is crucial to the study of politics, as without it we wouldn't understand the reasoning, the motivations and the consequences of political actions. Topics such as the nature of freedom, the responsibility of democracy, the relationship between government and society and questions of justice and equality.

* Elections are the lifeblood of our democratic government. The ability to focus on these linchpin events offers a fascinating study of how politics, media and culture can alter the course of a country. In this module you have the opportunity to forecast results as well as explain the results. Examine and gain insight in to why people vote, and more importantly, why they don't! Understand why and how parties select their candidates and what role the media performs in the campaigns that can be the difference between victory or defeat.

* International relations discusses issues such as the function of international organisations (like the UN), the practices of various actors on the international political stage, the role of international non-governmental actors (for example large corporations) and essential international policy areas like the natural environment. It addresses questions such as why wars occur, how peace is managed and maintained and what is international justice?

All of these interesting topics of study and many more are available in Politics courses across the UK. Take a look at the breadth and depth of the courses on offer to find one that speaks to your interests.
