Course Overview

In an age of globalization, our daily lives are affected by what happens worldwide. From the financial crisis to war and conflict, international relations matters. It shapes government policy, affects our job prospects, and impacts the lives of people worldwide. If you want to explore the role of the state and organization in an increasingly interconnected world, this international relations and politics degree is the right choice for you.

In many cases, global politics and the decisions made by those in power can significantly affect populations and how they live. As part of this politics and international relations course, you’ll debate different ideologies and policies in global politics, developing your understanding of why wars occur, why states cooperate (or don’t cooperate), and how these ideas affect lives.

Designed with a strong international focus, you’ll also have the opportunity to spend your second year studying abroad, immersing yourself in a different culture and experiencing new ways of life. These experiences will give you the real-world experience needed to stand out in a competitive employment industry.

• Develop a thorough understanding of different ideologies and policies in global politics

• Acquire a range of transferable skills needed to launch your professional career
