International Relations with Global Religions Bachelor of Arts (with Honours) - BA (Hons)

Explore global challenges, foreign policy, security threats, and international cooperation and rivalry, while gaining insight into the role played by religion in the flux that characterises today’s geopolitical landscape.

Your studies will span the Middle East, Africa, Latin America, South Asia, Britain, Europe and the United States, and you’ll develop a sophisticated understanding of the critical role of religions such as Buddhism, Christianity, Hinduism, Islam and more.

The degree is taught by influential, inspiring academics who regularly collaborate with government bodies such as the UK Parliament to shape policy on important issues such as racial injustice and migration.

You’ll take approximately two thirds of your core modules in International Relations and one third in Global Religions. Optional modules give you the flexibility to develop your own pathway by choosing modules that align to your interests – from global capitalism to the politics of the global south, war and security to pressures on democracy.

In the final year, your dissertation is an opportunity to research and write about a topic of your choosing, with guidance from our expert tutors at every step of the way.
