Politics is broadly concerned with how societies are structured and the distribution of authority, power and influence.
The study of politics incorporates a variety of subject matter and a range of theoretical approaches.
In the Politics major, you’ll learn about Australian politics, public policy, political theory and international relations.
Australian politics familiarises you with institutional structures and recent political history and introduces you to political concepts and analytical approaches that can be applied in our region worldwide.
Public policy covers the processes of policy formulation, implementation and evaluation.
In political theory, you’ll learn about political ideas and major debates on democracy, freedom, justice and civil society. International relations covers world politics, the relations between states, and international institutions.
