The Bachelor of Arts in Politics and Economics at Nelson Mandela University is a three-year interdisciplinary degree that explores the relationship between political power and economic systems, with a strong emphasis on the South African context. Students study political theory, South African and comparative politics, international relations, microeconomics, macroeconomics, and public policy, developing the analytical and critical thinking skills valued in government, the private sector, and civil society. The degree is particularly relevant given South Africa's evolving democratic institutions and its role in regional African governance and trade.
