Entry into third year normally requires (i) passes in all courses (240 credits) in the first two years, (ii) a pass in Economics 2, (iii) a pass in Statistical Methods for Economics, (iv) a mark of 50% or above in International Cooperation in Europe and Beyond at the first attempt and (v) a mark of 50% or above in Comparative Politics in a Globalized World at the first attempt.
Students who spend their third year abroad at a partner university must complete and pass a full year's diet of examinable subjects (equivalent to 120 credits), all of which must be in Economics and Politics. Students must complete and pass equivalent courses to the year 3 compulsory courses, but subject to additional requirements as described in the Degree Programme Handbook, available on Learn.
If considering taking the Politics dissertation, students are strongly recommended to take PLIT10106 RESEARCH DESIGN IN POLITICS & INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS.
