The University of Sheffield
Department of Politics

Politics Brought To Life: Short Films

Politics is all about the real issues which shape our world. A Politics degree will give you the opportunity to think and learn about some of the most contentious and important questions in our society. From ethics to economics, grass-roots to global, Politics is a broad and challenging discipline.

The videos below have been made by some of our academic staff to introduce some of the ideas which you will encounter by studying Politics at the University of Sheffield. All of our lecturers teach in the Department as well as undertaking cutting-edge political research.
