Business, Law, Politics, and History

Activity locations

6 subject activity sessions will take place on the University of Exeter Penryn campus in Penryn, Cornwall and 1 will take place on the Streatham campus in Exeter, Devon.

In today's rapidly changing global world, we face a number of challenges surrounding inequality, the environmental crisis, and conflict, posing social and ethical dilemmas. The academic disciplines of Business, Law, Politics, and History work together to address these questions, even going so far as to address the gritty criminal side of law. In this subject strand, you will challenge yourself by examining some of the major questions facing our society and consider how we can make a difference. By understanding these challenges, we can identify opportunities to transform our ever-changing world for the better. This subject strand will encourage you to think critically, reason effectively, and be reflective whilst analysing and discussing challenging topics by using in depth and involved activities for you to address these topics. With this strand you can be a part of the global conversation and solving the environmental issues, stand up to argue morality with your strand and discover where the fields of Business, Law, Politics, and History could lead you.

On this strand, at the Penryn Campus you will have an introductory session, a Politics and IR session, a History and Cornish Studies session, a Library and Special Collections and Alumni session, a Law session, and a Business session, while at the Streatham Campus you will have one interdisciplinary session.
