International Relations BA

International relations explores how states interact and co-operate with each other. This course offers you an historical understanding of the development of the ‘society of states’ and how it is changing today.

Taught by experts in a stimulating research environment, you’ll examine the ways in which states behave and what obligations they may have to wider conceptions of international society. You’ll explore the political dynamics that influence interstate cooperation, and the roles of international organisations like the UN in promoting international peace and security.
