Course Overview
The BSc Politics and International Relations degree gives you a strong foundation in political theory, comparative politics and global affairs, helping you to understand how governments work, how policies evolve, and how global actors interact in issues like security, migration, governance and international organisations.
🧠 Key Experience and Learning:
• Political theory and its application to modern politics – from democratic institutions to state systems.
• International Relations theory and practice – global governance, conflict, security, development and diplomacy.
• Policy analysis and comparative politics – how policies are made, evaluated and applied across societies.
• Analytical and research skills including data interpretation, essay writing and critical thinking.
📌 Modules & Optional Studies:
You’ll typically begin with foundational modules in year 1 covering political systems, political ideas and international relations, before moving on to specialist topics such as globalisation, security, public policy, migration and regional politics.
Field trips (e.g., policy institutions, international simulations) and opportunities for external engagement with policymakers are sometimes integrated into the degree, enriching real‑world exposure.
