Bachelor of Arts (Political Science and International Relations)

Societies can only continue to exist if they solve the problem of internal order and are able to protect themselves from external threats. This major focuses on the ways in which states and peoples interact with other states, regional or global political organisations, and social movements in an increasingly interdependent world. Gain an understanding of how government is organised; of values such as liberty, participation, majority rule and minority rights, which inform political institutions and public policy; and of ideologies such as conservatism, liberalism, socialism, feminism and environmentalism, which have motivated much political action in modern societies.

Job Opportunity Potential

Political Science and International Relations graduates are trained in critical thinking, problem-solving, the ability to identify connections between global, national and local phenomena, research and analysis, cross-cultural awareness, and oral and written communication skills. These skills prepare students for a wide range of occupations.

Graduates of this major are not only found in political parties, ministers’ offices and parliament – many graduates often go on to policy and research positions in international, national and local government agencies, in the private sector, non-governmental and community organisations, in parliament, political parties and electoral agencies; or to careers in law, the media and the education sector. A specialisation in international relations is also directly relevant for careers in foreign affairs, diplomacy, defence, intelligence, trade and international organisations.
