Program Summary

Program Description

This innovative Politics and International Relations degree will allow students to develop a greater awareness of the complexity and connectedness of the political and international processes and theories that shape lives. Students will examine the contemporary world in which people live at the local, national and global levels. This degree is for students who are interested in international trends and understanding the changing world.

Because Politics deals with fundamental issues affecting society globally, it makes an ideal combination with International Relations to create an exciting, stimulating and relevant course.

This stimulating degree offers you the opportunity to combine key components of International Relations as well as the chance to examine a range of political systems and theories.

Students will acquire the skills required to: critically engage with a range of texts (including books, documents, scholarly articles, journalistic sources, and web-based sources); debate and discuss events, ideas and arguments; critically compile and effectively present knowledge, arguments and opinions; research independently using primary and secondary sources; put all of this into practice in real-world contexts.

Throughout this course, students will not just study politics, they will have the chance to practice what they learn. In the Politics and International Relations in Practice Module in Year One, students will have the opportunity to get involved with real-world politics, such as participating in the Student Parliament or student society. Students will also be actively encouraged to participate in voluntary work.
