Studying politics is more than just voting in elections or debates in parliament — it is the study of people, power and society. It determines how we live and work, solve challenges and shape the future, and touches on every part of our lives: from education to jobs, from housing to immigration, from health to global relationships. Politics keeps the peace and thrusts us into war. 

With a major in Politics, you can tailor your topics to your interests - whether you’re fascinated by the rise of China, or aspire to pursue social causes in Australian parliament. Since our political landscapes are constantly shifting, there is always more to know.

Real experience.
