International Relations

About

The International Relations degree will give you insight into the major world issues that challenge and fascinate us today. Youll examine the forces that shape contemporary societies, such as globalisation, international law, third-world debt and American foreign policy. Youll also study key institutions like the European Union and the United Nations. Youll learn from staff with expertise in areas such as Terrorism and Counter-terrorism, European Union studies, Middle-Eastern studies, International Security and Conflict Studies, International Law and Aid, and Development Studies. The programme also prepares you for the work force by imparting broader abilities, such as oral and written communication skills, the capacity to think analytically, teamwork skills, and research techniques.
