About the course

Language skills are a great asset to have for careers in international relations and international organisations. This course allows you to enhance your language skills alongside gaining an understanding of the role of states, international organisations and non-state actors in our global world.

Learn from experts whose research is making a difference to communities across the world – from human rights and climate change, to food crises and health pandemics. You also get real-world exposure to international relations, from regular events with practitioner speakers.

Choose one language from Arabic, British Sign Language, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Mandarin Chinese and Spanish, or you can choose to study English Language Teaching.
