On Campus

As technology, transport, and a more complex and globalised economy make our world smaller, the value of peaceful and cooperative relationships between states and nations is increasingly important. At the same time, the threats that states, communities, and individuals face are increasing in intensity and breadth. How do states cope with the changing nature of conflicts and new threats to security? How do we maintain and strengthen peaceful relations between people and states? What role can international institutions play alongside state actors in a complex and interconnected world?

Our BA International Relations and Modern Languages degree provides you with an opportunity to investigate the impact of a globalised world on states and citizens, the role of digital communication in shaping understanding of events, and the evolution of global human rights. The drivers and forces behind international cooperation and conflict form part of our degree just as much as the impact of conflict on the relationship between states and people. You will learn how power, norms and institutions, as well as legal frameworks, affect our day-to-day lives and how historical events still have a noticeable impact on the global world order.

As part of your degree you will also study the rich diversity of your chosen language (French, Spanish or German) at a level suitable to your existing knowledge, with the opportunity to undertake a year abroad. This allows you a first-hand opportunity to gain cultural insights, to directly interact with other cultures and educational systems, and to further enhance your linguistic skills.
