BA (Hons) International Relations
An International Relations degree will help you to gain an appreciation of how states, international organisations, and non-state actors interact on the global stage. Supported by knowledgeable and passionate staff, you'll start by looking at the core theories of international relations and their underlying methods. You'll get a broad grounding in a range of topics in global politics such as terrorism, security studies, human rights, internet politics, and many others. The teaching team constantly updates the course content to reflect on the key developments in International Relations.
A wide variety of options means you can pursue your own interests - with increasing levels of flexibility as you progress through the course. In the final year, you will engage more directly with current academic debates and contemporary political developments. You can also choose to specialise in how digital communications affect the global political landscape and graduate with the bracketed degree award of BA (Hons) International Relations (International Relations and Global Communications).
With practical skills training including advanced analytical approaches, and placement and study abroad opportunities, an International Relations degree opens doors to a range of interesting and rewarding career possibilities.
