From European politics and global conflicts, to policies tackling challenging and sometimes controversial issues, these degrees enable students to examine some of the most important issues of our time.

Lincoln's BA (Hons) International Relations and Politics degree enables students to explore
British politics, international diplomacy, and the emergence of global institutions. It gives them the chance to examine complex political issues, such as global inequality, religion and sectarianism, conflict, and democratisation, which affect the world today.

Through the study of national, comparative, international, and global politics, students are
encouraged to develop an appreciation of the themes driving contemporary international relations and politics.
