International Relations BA (Hons)

<strong>Overview</strong><br/><br/>Our BA International Relations degree immerses you in the dynamic world of global politics, where nations, organisations, and individuals shape our collective future. International Relations explores how countries interact, how power flows across borders, and how complex issues like climate change and security are addressed on the world stage. Join a community where rigorous thinking meets real-world application. Our graduates dont just understand international relations—they actively shape it. <br/><br/>Working alongside academics who actively shape international policy, youll develop both theoretical understanding and practical skills. Youll analyse global power structures, explore how diplomatic relationships form and fracture, and examine the role of institutions from the UN to emerging regional powers in addressing worldwide challenges. <br/><br/>Take a climate change module, and youll analyse real COP negotiations while developing policy papers alongside UN-experienced specialists. Study emerging technologies, and youll engage with both theories of digital governance and their application to AI and cybersecurity today. We’re always aiming to connect your academic learning to possible career paths that you might pursue. <br/><br/>Gain hands-on experience through our internship program with international organisations, test diplomatic theories in simulation exercises, or spend time abroad to experience different political systems firsthand. Join study trips to institutions like the EU, and build networks through our speaker series featuring diplomats, NGO leaders, and policymakers. <br/><br/>Our graduates thrive across diverse fields—from diplomatic service and international journalism to global business, humanitarian work, and technology governance. Youll develop crucial skills in analysis, negotiation, and cross-cultural communication that are invaluable in todays interconnected world. <br/><br/><strong>Disclaimer</strong><br/><br/>Course details are subject to change.
