The Britain and Ireland Association for Political Thought wholeheartedly supports the student-led campaign to convince Kingston University to abandon plans to close its undergraduate programmes in Politics, International Relations, and Human Rights. The Politics department is home to world-class research in political theory and other areas and BIAPT believes that the university should make a commitment to its excellent staff by continuing to recruit future students to these programmes.
The student petition to ‘Save Kingston Politics Department’ can be found here.
The Political Studies Association and British International Studies Association have also made a joint statement condemning the university’s decision to suspend recruitment.
