Course Overview

Knowledge of international affairs and skills of clear-sighted political analysis is needed more than ever before, as our traditional political ‘certainties’ crumble.

Taught by experts in a stimulating and inclusive environment, you will gain a historical understanding of the development of nation-states and their contemporary relevance.

The foundation year helps you develop the study skills and self-confidence needed for higher education when you don’t reach the entry requirements for your subject or you need a grounding in a new subject area.

We place a strong emphasis on transferable skills with a focus on employability. You’ll gain skills in critical thought and analysis, teamwork, and the ability to communicate complex ideas clearly and effectively.

Our graduates are now working in a variety of sectors including the civil service, international non-governmental organizations, journalism, law, and teaching.
