Bachelor Programme
International Relations
Taught by the Department of War Studies, the International Relations BA analyses contemporary world politics and its theoretical and historical roots. It is built around four strands: international history, international relations theory, international political economy, and international practice such as diplomacy, foreign policy and strategy. All four are introduced in first year, and students specialise through a wide range of options in Years 2 and 3. Entry is through UCAS (course code L250).
