Studying international relations abroad

Explore global politics, history and diplomacy with a degree in international relations

International relations is the study of how countries interact with each other. It is a combination of politics, history, sociology, law, economics and geography, and how all of these components come together in the context of international cooperation.

You will develop your understanding of how states work together for the better of society, trying not to repeat historical mistakes, and provide future developments.

Modules you study might include global history, war and peace, international conflict, modern politics, and international security. Your degree will be delivered in a mixture of modes. These could include lectures and seminars, as well as group projects. You may also be given the opportunity to take part in a work placement.

Studying for a postgraduate international relations degree will allow you to further develop your knowledge and skills in the area. You will be exposed to more practical and theoretical applications, which will challenge your abilities. This will mean that you are well prepared for a career in a multi-faceted and complex field.

Modules you study could include refugees and international relations, activism and resistance, slavery in global history, and politics of developing countries.
