You will be introduced to core principles within several arts disciplines contributing breadth to your knowledge of the arts, humanities and social sciences; and will have an opportunity to explore a focused program of study that will develop your practical and theoretical skills and knowledge in one Faculty of Arts listed major area of study while concurrently providing you with opportunities to undertake mobility programs, professional development units, and/or topics of interest.

Major: International Relations
International relations is the largest subfield of political science. Our program focuses on the major challenges of global politics, including war, security and development. We ask the critical questions about world politics: Who wields power? How does power generate both security and conflict?

Why choose international relations?
International relations looks both at specific issues in some detail as well as the ‘big picture’ of how the global political system works and is developing.

You’ll gain a comprehensive understanding of the key global debates, international conflicts and global institutions. Governance, poverty and human rights are central issues alongside policy implementation within the fields of security studies, international political economy, foreign affairs and global governance.

You’ll apply your critical thinking skills to analyse innovative, problem-solving solutions to major global challenges.

What will you study?
International relations examines the dynamics of global politics and economics, including the relationships between political institutions, international organisations, governmental and non-governmental players. You’ll explore topics such as:

Global security crises like climate change, peace and conflict, global development and forced migration
The operation of international institutions like the UN, NATO and the World Bank
The politics and impact of the foreign and economic policies of states
The ideas and theories that drive political action in international relations
