Description

This volume assumes no prior knowledge of the subject. For students who have never studied politics before, it should give an idea of what to expect. For students already studying politics at school, it should provide a concise but comprehensive learning aid. Part One concentrates on defining politics, covering key concepts in political analysis and looking at politics as an academic subject. Part Two covers core subjects taught in most politics degrees. Topics include political theory, government and international relations. Part Three tackles the study skills needed at university level and discusses issues such as: lecturers, tutorials and seminars; writing skills; essays and dissertations; and examinations. It also covers the transferable skills students should gain from the study of politics and guidance on future employment and careers.
