Both our BSc in Politics & International Relations, and our interdisciplinary BSc in Philosophy, Politics & Economics, will give you the tools to understand and evaluate some of the most pressing challenges of our time, both domestically and globally.

Widening Participation

In the UCL Department of Political Science, we strive to create a student community that is genuinely representative of the wider world. We are keen to recruit students from a diverse array of backgrounds. To that end, we are working in partnership with the UCL Access and Widening Participation Team to help students from under-represented backgrounds navigate and prepare for the application process.

UCL's Access and Widening Participation team offers an exciting range of visits, events and programmes for students in years 5-13 and adult learners who are under-represented in higher education. They also run activities for parents and carers, and teachers and educational professionals. All of their events and activities are designed to give students a greater insight into UCL's degree programmes and student life.
