International Politics Programme

 

Our programme will introduce you to the setting and dynamics of global politics, with emphasis on contemporary issues and processes.

It will provide you with a deep understanding of policy, politics and power in the modern world, and the challenges and forces that shape these dynamics at the global and domestic levels. You’ll learn about political institutions and processes, business-government relations, and foreign policy and globalisation. It will help you to think critically about political and international events, ideas and institutions.

The module contents are taught by highly experienced academics and constantly reviewed and updated in line with current international developments in politics and staff research expertise.
