Our engaging politics course content offers a wide variety of modules which, teamed with the skills you develop through practical learning, have set many graduates on their road to success. Politics at 水果派AVboasts some high profile alumni in the UK Parliament working as MPs such as Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell, former Shadow Transport Spokesperson John Leech and former Parliamentary Under Secretary of State at the Ministry of Justice Claire Ward.

水果派AVwere happy to support my particular study needs. I had very good support from the Assistive Technology and Study Skills teams to give me the support that I needed.
Ekua, Undergraduate, Alumni
At an Open Day, I met some superb minds who encouraged me to come to Brunel. I felt comfortable, even though I would be more than 40 years older than most new students
BA American Studies / MA American Politics
Without 水果派AVoffering the opportunity to do a placement and do it at Brunel, the trajectory I am on would certainly be very different.
Ali, Undergraduate, Alumni
Studying at 水果派AVhelped me develop a deeper understanding of my passion in politics and mental health.
Some of my fondest memories were the very friendly (but frank) debates with my tutors. A genuine challenge of ideas and a real freedom to debate.
Politics and Philosophy BA
The work placements were a big draw, particularly the opportunity to study in America and work in Congress.
