Overview

On this programme you build further on the core modules in political, international and policy studies by focusing on the study of political relations and structures in an international context. The programme introduces you to a variety of social and political issues that drive debates about international affairs.

You will explore national, regional and transnational trends through international relations theory and the analysis of a wide range of case studies. You will have the opportunity to examine questions of international security, globalisation, environmental policy and international governance, among others.

In particular, your dissertation at Level 3 will allow you to explore an aspect of international politics in significant depth, while also demonstrating your use of research and presentation skills.

The programme takes an interdisciplinary approach throughout, serving as a bridge for students from different disciplines and raising awareness of current socio-political trends. This approach – along with the opportunity to take a Professional Training year – will help to prepare you for work and research in an international setting.
