Interested in how countries are governed and decisions made? Interested in what shapes foreign policies and how national and international political events and practices impact people locally? Interested in how social movements impact politics globally? Then Politics and International Relations should appeal to you.

The course includes a range of modules on British, American, European, African and Middle Eastern politics and provides you with a deeper understanding of the rationale and value of peaceful and cooperative relations between nations and people. It also teaches you how the world is becoming increasingly more connected and how this impacts on governments and their agencies, multinational companies, international organizations, non-governmental organisations, and you.

Recent graduates from our BA International Relations course are now employed in the private sector, ranging from marketing, human resources, banking, and finance to media, and across the public sector in education, the civil service, police forces, local authorities, charities, non-governmental organisations (NGOs), and international organisations.
