On our BSc (Hons) International Relations course, you’ll receive a full grounding in the discipline as a whole. You’ll also explore national, regional and transnational trends through international relations theories, and the analysis of a wide range of case studies.

You’ll be able to examine questions of great significance on the global political stage. These include international security, foreign policy, globalisation, environmental policy and international governance.

You will have the opportunity to engage in primary research on a topic of your choice, if you opt to write a dissertation in your final year. This will give you rich insights into aspects of international politics and public affairs, in addition to enhanced research and presentation skills.
