Studying Politics and International Relations at the University of Reading has been both challenging and incredibly rewarding. The course has pushed me to think critically about the world around me and helped me understand global issues in a deeper more meaningful way. What I appreciate most is how supportive and approachable the lecturers are as they genuinely want students to succeed and always make time to explain ideas or offer guidance. Seminars feel engaging and open which makes it easy to share opinions and learn from others and the course content feels relevant to what is happening in the world right now. Having access to strong academic support and the library has helped me grow in confidence as a student especially in my first year. This course has not only developed my academic skills but has also helped me grow personally and given me clarity about my interests and future goals which makes me excited for what is still to come.

Barely any contact time, like 6-7 hours a week at the busiest, modules differ in teaching quality, dissertation prep has been mostly hands off from the department I believe everyone could benefit from more contact time in this area read more
