School of Politics, Philosophy and Area Studies

Welcome to the School of Politics, Philosophy and Area Studies.

In our School we work to solve the problems facing the world today. We do so by crossing borders of all kinds, by studying different parts of the world, identifying where change is needed and how it is achieved, thinking creatively and innovatively, and applying diverse skills across our subjects of study. This approach underpins the excellence of our research and teaching in Politics, Philosophy and Area Studies.

We put student experience at the heart of School life, delivering our superb teaching in a nurturing, supportive environment. We build communities inside and outside the classroom and the university. Please enjoy discovering more about our communities by following the links to each of our departments.
