Governmental and Institutional
Learn about the policies and debates that determine the way we live and interact in the world – and the institutions who take decisions for us on crime, health, and education, as well as war, diplomacy and human rights.
Whether you vote or not, our lives are shaped by governments and other powerful institutions, and the legal and policy frameworks around us. If you would like to learn more about how these institutions have been shaped historically, the ways they operate today, or the challenges they face, this sub-theme may be the one for you. Whether you are a politics student who would like to understand criminal justice, or a chemistry student who wants to understand environmental policy, this sub-theme provides insights on a wide range of issues that have consequences for your own programme of study.
