Politics @ Otago

Everything in this world is, in some way, political. International relations, business, the environment, the legal system, and even sport are political institutions. It is difficult then to grasp the world around us unless we understand politics. Studying politics at Otago has taught me how to view, process and assess the world from a political standpoint - a standpoint that has universal application. In my case I will be taking these skills to Oxford to research further into environmental law and policy. But the quality of teaching at Otago means that you have the skills to pursue a career in any field whilst also being an interesting and well-informed individual.
