Mapping Your Degree
If you have a general interest in current affairs, and enjoy reading, essay writing and discussion, Politics may suit you very well. The undergraduate degree module in Politics can be taken as part of a BA or a B SocSc, as a major with a minor subject, as a joint major with another subject, or as a minor. It usually takes three years. It is also possible for students, after their second year, to spend a year at another European university through the Socrates exchange scheme. When these students return to UCD and have completed their final year, they are awarded a BA (International) degree. Politics is also available as part of the BCL (Law with Politics).
