Political Science (4 Years)

UCAS code: L210

Here's what Richmond American University London says about its Political Science (4 Years) course.

UK students can fast-track the degree: complete the UK/US four-year degree in three years. Richmond is the only UK university with US-based degree programmes, which typically take four years to complete. However, students can now finish in three years using A Levels or equivalent qualifications to fast-track their degree. For example, UK A Levels grades BBC-BBB and above (depending on your programme of interest) count as credits for the first year. Upon graduation students will receive a UK and US degree award.

We offer 4-year Liberal Arts and Business BA degrees. Students entering with A levels or other level 3 qualifications usually gain exemptions from courses in the Richmond Core Curriculum which can mean that you should be able to complete your degree in less than four academic years. The interdisciplinary Liberal Arts approach offers not just breadth but also depth of study and encourages students to make sounds judgements and think independently. A Liberal Arts education is one which encourages you to explore a wide range of subjects and programmes. It reaches across disciplines, building connections between different academic areas such as literature, science, mathematics, writing, business and psychology. Upon entry to Richmond University all students study the Liberal Arts Core Curriculum before specialising in their chosen field.
