International Relations, BA (Hons)

In an increasingly interconnected world, global challenges such as conflict, climate change, poverty, and inequality demand collaboration, yet international politics remains fragmented. At NTU's International Relations (IR) program, students explore these issues through a personalized curriculum, starting with foundational concepts in the first year and tailoring studies to interests like political violence, regional politics, or cultural dynamics. The program culminates in a supervised dissertation, fostering expertise and innovative learning approaches that build transferable skills for careers in diplomacy, media, NGOs, and beyond.NTU's IR degree emphasizes real-world engagement, including simulations, placements, and study abroad opportunities, set in the vibrant city of Nottingham. Students can learn languages like Arabic or Mandarin and select from modules such as Global Political Economy, Security Studies, or Feminist Thought. Assessment includes essays, presentations, and a final dissertation, with feedback provided within three weeks to support academic growth.
