Politics and International Relations, BA (Hons)

Our world is a complex, contradictory place. In many ways, we’re broader minded and better connected than ever before; in others, the impact of war, disease, intolerance and instability threatens to undermine our progress. With divisive, post-factual ‘truths’ continuing to infiltrate the news, it’s often hard to know what’s really happening — but we’ll give you the critical skills to hear through that noise.Emphasising the interplay between leadership, communication, and creativity, we’ve combined the insights of our separate politics and international relations courses into one exciting, interdisciplinary degree. This innovative degree will allow you to develop a greater awareness of the international processes and political ideas that shape our lives. You’ll examine the complex political, social and economic systems that structure the contemporary world and analyse the interconnected nature of local, national and global events. The focus throughout is on applied skill and you will get the chance work with local activist groups, complete a placement, design and trial your own campaign proposals, and debate the biggest issues with NTU’s Politics and International Relations Society.For more information please visit: https://www.ntu.ac.uk/course/social-sciences/ug/ba-hons-politics-and-international-relations
