In your second and final year you will have the opportunity to explore your chosen topics in more depth, with modules such as Moral Philosophy, Contemporary Political Philosophy and the Philosophy of Law.<br/><br/>Studying international relations will give you a strong grounding in fundamental elements of the subject, such as political ideas and international relations theory. You will have the opportunity to learn about international relations both in breadth and in depth, through a range of specialist core and optional modules, which cover topical issues such as European political integration, international terrorism, and politics in the Middle East.<br/><br/>You will be taught in small interactive seminar groups, in which discussion and debate with teaching staff and fellow students is encouraged.
