Bachelor of Arts (Hons) in Politics and International Relations with Foundation Year

Program Overview

Do you want to make sense of the post-truth world, encapsulated by events such as Brexit and the US Election? Are you interested in understanding how global powers interact, both in times of war and peace?

Would you like to know more about international organisations and their capacity to control and shape development around the world? Do you want to learn about political participation and become an active citizen, so that you can contribute to policy-making processes?

If you answer 'Yes' to any of these questions, then our International Relations course is for you.

Global politics has become increasingly turbulent, foundations and systems are being shaken, and relations between nations are being shifted and tested. There is a new demand for experts who are able to understand and work in this new political arena. With our innovative Politics and International Relations course we can equip you with the skills and knowledge to play an active role in this new world.

There has never been a more pressing and fascinating time to study and make a career in international politics.

Our foundation year course is perfect if you want a degree in International Relations but you don't have the standard entry requirements. First we prepare you for your degree during the Foundation year, bringing you up to speed with academic skills and a firm grounding in the subject. Then you can go on to do the full undergraduate degree.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN

On your International Politics course, you'll ask questions about who gets what at the international level and how decisions are reached when it comes to distributing power, wealth and resources. We will encourage you to develop your own perspective and give you the tools to express your opinions through a variety of formats.

You'll study theory in modules such as Politics, International Relations, and Global Governance and you'll see it brought to life in fascinating modules such as Gender, Power and International Relations as you investigate how global political change has come about.

You'll also find modules to develop your particular interests or passions in politics such as African Politics, Politics of Global Powers, and Rethinking Security.

You'll be taught by authorities in their field such as Dr Aura Lounasmaa, who is an expert on forced migration and gender politics, and has carried out research on women's NGOs in Morocco, migrant access to higher education and political activism in civil society.
