Global Politics and International Relations (BA)

BA Global Politics and International Relations is concerned with both the political changes that are sweeping across the globe, transforming politics across countries and regions, as well as relations between states in the international system - a system that itself is undergoing profound transformation. Yet this is not the first time in human history that global political relations have undergone such extensive change, and an important aspect of the degree is the goal of understanding this history, and particularly the history of the modern world. Without this political-historical understanding, we cannot make sense of the momentous developments we see around us. Graduates can pursue careers in national and international government, pressure groups, journalism and research. This degree may also be useful in becoming a civil service fast-streamer, journalist, diplomatic services operational officer or social researcher.
