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

Program Overview

International Relations looks beyond formal interactions between states and governments. You’ll explore how local and global structures interact, and the ways in which "international relations" are shaped as much through everyday actions as by formal institutions of government. This could relate to the work of NGOs and the impact of "soft diplomacy", or to the communities of artists and activists that contribute to campaigns against global inequalities and injustice.

The course has been designed to develop practical and professional skills that you can apply in a variety of careers. You’ll work collaboratively with students from other subjects during your first two years, to deepen your understanding and sharpen your analysis of political ideas, processes and structures from different perspectives. You’ll work on projects that look beyond the University and into the city, the region and the wider world. You could lead a project team, evaluate and respond to a defined challenge, or pitch an idea to one of our many partner organisations.

In International Relations modules, you might examine how art and culture inform our perceptions of the world, from the artist as activist to the destruction of archaeological sites as an instrument of war. Our Politics modules encourage you to look across the boundaries between different disciplines. You'll focus on contemporary change, movements and action. You’ll also explore the historical and philosophical contexts in which political ideas develop, and investigate their social, environmental and cultural impacts.

Professional placement year
The Professional Placement Year (PPY) provides you with the opportunity to identify, apply for, and secure professional experience, normally comprising one to three placements over a minimum of nine months. Successful completion of this module will demonstrate your ability to secure and sustain graduate-level employment.
