Our International Relations degree will provide you with the knowledge to understand responses to international political, economic and social challenges that have occurred since the middle of the twentieth century.

Enrolling on our International Relations degree will give you the opportunity to study politics in regional and global contexts, examine challenges to foreign policy decision making and consider problems of security, conflict, war, terrorism, international development and the international politics of dynamic regions.

Our International Relations degree will develop your understanding of conflicts between states and their ability, or inability, to cooperate. If you are interested in going beyond the headlines on international affairs, this is the course for you.

The BA (Hons) International Relations degree blends concepts with case studies to equip you with specific methods of analysis in international relations — the kind of analytical skills that employers value.
