Politics is not just for politicians! Are you interested in Irish politics, international affairs, human rights, the allocation of power and resources? Then Politics is the subject for you.

Politics in UCC is taught by the Departments of History, Philosophy and 

Government and so we are able to offer students a broad and diverse range of topics to study, from political corruption, war and political extremism to democracy, feminism and comparative  politics with lots in between.

Politics allows you study the real world and helps develop skills that make sense of the world long after graduation.
