UWESU believe that the excellent and well-regarded Politics and IR courses should be safeguarded so that both current and future students can benefit from the high-quality education currently on offer.

Unistats shows the BA (Hons) Politics had an Overall satisfaction rate of 92% with 90% of those questioned going on to further study or work.

UWESU does not support cuts to courses, especially to areas of high student satisfaction.

UWESU will be communicating with the University over the coming days to ensure that current students are not adversely affected by any course closures.


(Can members of UWESU also include their UWE ID number.)

All messages of Solidarity greatly received.

90% employment rate speaks for itself. Why close something that actually works?
