International Relations and Politics, BA (Hons)

This International Relations and Politics degree fosters awareness of global interconnections, offering a current, relevant, and inspiring exploration of worldwide political dimensions and links between people, places, ideas, and challenges.With modules spanning Foreign Policy, Terrorism, and Active Citizens, students examine contemporary issues from multiple perspectives, including environmental politics, Britain's global role, and media's influence on social problems. Key themes include democracy and active citizenship—questioning democratic transitions, non-democratic governance, local practices, and responses to democratic crises—and war, conflict, and security, analyzing interstate wars, avoidance strategies, border challenges, and regulation via international organizations. Governance unites domestic and international politics, evaluating institutions and innovative problem-solving beyond centralized approaches. Integrating theory with real-world applications, the course equips graduates to drive personal and professional impact.
