Overview

Study BA Politics and International Relations and ask why do countries go to war? How much tax should we pay? And can foreign policy ever be wholly ethical? Students will learn about the fundamental elements of politics and international relations, address some of the contemporary world's most pressing problems and explore the ethical and moral issues that arise when political authority is exercised. Students will be able to pursue their own interests through a wide range of specialist optional modules, which cover topical issues such as the politics of the welfare state, international terrorism and the Middle East crisis. Students will also have the option to take modules in other subjects, such as economics and history, to broaden their knowledge and learn other skills. The Model United Nations and Middle East simulations give students the opportunity to get a direct feel for the political process and apply knowledge and skills to a scenario that mimics real life. Take part in other activities that are related to politics, for example, contribute to the Department of Politics and International Relations' weekly politics radio show through our Media and Politics module, learning other useful skills such as presenting and audio editing. A successful industry placement can also lead to a job offer with the students' placement company upon graduation. Students will also have plenty of opportunity to develop excellent professional contacts.
