Department of Political Studies Undergraduate
UNDERGRADUATE INFORMATION
We provide a stimulating undergraduate programme that speaks to current issues, but is rooted in UWC’s history of activism and intellectually situated in South Africa’s post-colonial realities. Our teaching method relies heavily on case study methods and applied pedagogy.Political Studies can be taken as a major in the Bachelor of Arts (BA) and Bachelor of Administration (BAdmin) degree programmes. Political Studies can also be taken as an elective by students in the Law Faculty.
At second and third level, not all modules listed at the second and third year level will be taught every year.
