University of Birmingham Speciality : Politics
programme: Political Science and International Relations

This department is not only full of expert academics, but with professors that actually care about seeing you succeed. They are comprehensive in help students get the most out of their university experience, and are always on top of well-being of students! Even with challenges as daunting as the dissertation, they are kind and informative support even before the final year. This one of the few universities to place decolonisation studies not only at the forefront of the curriculum, but also a mandatory lesson for all politics students. Overall, this is the best department to grown as a political scientist and a student.

Overall, I’ve enjoyed my time at Birmingham. The campus looks fantastic, they recently inaugurated the new “green heart,” and there are excellent on-campus dining options. Sports facilities, particularly those related to hockey and football, have been excellent. The instructors and tutors on my course have been excellent, and it has been simple for me to select the things that interest me. There aren’t many hours in class, which is good for me as I prefer to study on my own time, but when there are, the lectures and seminars are focused and direct. There are several resources available for career support and essay guidance.
