Much is at stake in global politics today. War has returned to Europe. Climate change calls for urgent action, but nothing seems to happen. Inequality divides societies and the international sphere. Studying politics and international relations at Sussex allows you to consider these pressing questions as well as gaining real-world experience.



You'll learn new and critical ideas used to understand international issues, how governments make decisions and how we can hold those in power accountable. You'll gain the knowledge and practical skills to help address the challenges the world is facing. Your tutors aren’t just experts in their fields, they’re shaping public policy and influencing NGOs and governments.



You can build practical experience through:


  • integrated internship options with one of our partners in Westminster, political consultancies or the private sector
  • work-shadow political experts such as our Political Writer-in-Residence, the Times’ Chief Political Correspondent Aubrey Allegretti
  • masterclasses where successful professionals like Teresa Albano (Ex-United Nations) will tell how to build your successful international career.



Outside the classroom, there are even more ways to get involved. The student-run Politics and Debating Society will give you the chance to question leading politicians like Green Party MP Siân Berry. And at the IR Society you could hear what it is like to be a student intern with Ukraine’s foreign ministry during the war. Other opportunities include visiting Berlin where you can meet politicians in the German Bundestag and see politics in action
