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
