Global Politics
An intro course for beginners
6 weeks Sat 10am-12noon
starts: 12th Sept 2026 fee: £95
Make sense of the headlines and understand the forces shaping our world. If you've ever felt that world affairs seem complex, fast-moving or overwhelming, this course provides the context and frameworks that make current events easier to follow, understand and discuss with confidence. This 6-week course offers a clear and accessible introduction to global politics for those who want to understand the news better, international events and how they impact us here at home. You will join a small group of learners for weekly structured, discussion-led sessions, each week exploring key concepts in global politics and apply them to contemporary examples drawn from current affairs. We will explore different types of political systems and government structures, the role of international organisations, geopolitics and how media and political narratives shape public understanding. By the end of this course, you will feel more confident engaging with political discussions. Further extension modules for this course are at the planning stage, please speak to the tutor about module 2.
