BA Hons Politics and International Relations & Spanish
As a politics student, you'll look at the work of governments and their policies and study the behaviour of those who govern - and who they are governing - both at home and abroad. You'll also gain knowledge of domestic and international institutions and issues relating to conflict and cooperation. We cover diverse and relevant issues, such as international terrorism to the 2014 Scottish Independence Referendum.
Politics graduates can go on to work in a number of areas, with many pursuing academic research careers in the UK, Europe and North America.
With more than 500 million native speakers, Spanish is the second most commonly spoken language in the world. Speaking Spanish will help you conduct business more confidently in countries that are becoming increasingly important in world markets.
Studying with us will give you the chance to become a fluent linguist and, with our year abroad programme, an opportunity to experience living, working and/or studying in another country.

Job Opportunity Potential
Graduate employers not only ask for a degree qualification, they expect job applicants to bring a range of skills that they have gained outside of their studies, e.g. through work experience, volunteering, part-time jobs. Strathclyde University Careers Service will be happy to help you to prepare for your future graduate career once you become a member of Strathclyde University.
At some stage we all make choices about the career path we will follow. We can help you with this process if:
- You are unsure where to start,
- You have no idea of the career that would suit you,
- You have some vague ideas but need support to think them through,
- You need help finding more information
It is never too early to start thinking about your future career. We're happy to work with you from first year, throughout your degree and beyond graduation - at whatever stage you’ve reached in your thinking.
Choosing My Career
A great place to start is with our interactive online course Choosing My Career. It will help you make it a conscious and thoughtful decision, giving you the best chance of choosing a career path that suits your personality, skills and strengths.
