Overview

Studying International Politics brings a focus on power, authority, citizenship, conflict and cooperation in the world around us.

Current international trends are interpreted in historical perspective yet with a view to future directions and likely developments. Politics affects all our lives and with a deeper understanding you can join in conversations that address key issues.

You will take a core of compulsory modules in Politics, including Foundations in Politics, British Politics, European Politics, Foundations in International Politics and International Institutions. You will also have the option of choosing a wide variety of modules that deal with the international political sphere. These include, but are not limited to, Year Two modules on US Government and Politics, International Political Economy, Immigration and the State, International Institutions, and Security in a Globalised World.

In Year Three modules are available on, Identity in Contemporary International Politics, Media and Climate Change, and Comparative Peace Processes. There are also available a range of modules to choose from that do not have an explicitly international dimension.

Subject is available through Honours. More information here
