International Relations


International Relations studies:


  • actions and challenges that transcend national boundaries
  • the resulting conflicts or attempts at cooperation


How do states cope with our highly complex and interconnected world?


How can we tackle problems like climate change, global economic inequality, and interstate war?


Do our very ideas about state power, sovereignty, democracy, justice, legitimacy, and order have to change?


Guided by leading academics and researchers in the field, you will explore:


  • the origins and evolution of the state system
  • the emergence of global non-state actors
  • the power of international institutions
  • the driving forces behind international cooperation and conflict


Quantitative methods


Data is becoming increasingly important in political decision-making and political research.


On this programme, one quarter of your study time will be devoted to quantitative methods, and systematically developing your skills in politics and statistics. You will learn how to research political issues by using data in a practical setting.


Quantitative skills underpin effective evidence-based planning within:


  • government
  • the private sector
  • international organisations


Programme benefits


  • We aim to equip you for the job market with key skills in data analysis and statistics.
  • Many honours courses feature innovative learning methods such as simulations or practical exercises.
  • Study under leading academics and researchers in the field.
  • Home to the Scottish Parliament, the city of Edinburgh offers the perfect location in which to study politics.
