International relations is an area of politics that largely focuses on how two or more nations interact with each other. Students will begin the course by studying the evolution of international relations theory – for example how international relations relates to problems of anarchy, sovereignty, order, justice and solutions. There are two topics to choose from at the beginning: International Security which will look at the main concepts and models within the subject as well as its issues and policies, or International Political Economy which considers topics like globalisation, financial liberation and economic growth. Students will then further choose two additional optional modules which cover democracy, migrant law, post-war world affairs, security in the middle east, and geopolitics. Finally, each student will conduct a research project under the guidance of a dissertation supervisor to complete the course. This degree includes the rare option of a work placement – 6-12 weeks of professional practice that takes place between May and September in an organisation with an international dimension to its mission.
