Languages and Cultures (Middle East, Africa, South and Southeast Asia) and International Relations including year abroad BA (Hons)

This interdisciplinary programme introduces students to the cultures and societies of Africa, Asia and the Middle East through their languages, literatures and screen culture, providing an understanding of the interconnectedness of these regions in an increasingly globalised world. Students will choose to specialise in one particular region through their languages and module choices, with an optional Year Abroad at one of our partner universities. The International Relations combination degree offers a global, comparative approach to the study of world affairs through a study of world history and global power relations. Students gain a better understanding of the sources of conflict as well as the roles of culture, identity and ideas in world politics.
