About this course
Why study BA International Relations at GoldsmithsA degree in international relations will provide you with an in-depth understanding of the processes and outcomes of world politics, including the relations between states, security and conflict, and global cooperation and governance. At Goldsmiths you will study these themes in a way that reflects the College’s reputation as an institution at the forefront of critical thinking in the arts, humanities and cultural studies. Our programme provides you with a contemporary perspective on international relations, one that prioritises Non-Western and Global South actors, institutions and ideas that challenge the post-Cold War liberal international order. Not only will you study the ‘high politics’ of international relations – war, multilateral cooperation and international trade and finance – but international politics 'from below', focused on climate change, migration, human rights, human security and indigenous demands for global justice. In line with the interdisciplinary approach to politics of the department, you will encounter ‘the international’ in diverse sites of cultural practices, including the politics of vision, non-Western political thought and music. Studying international relations at Goldsmiths you will acquire a wide range of transferable academic and research skills suitable for the workplace or postgraduate study. You can put your knowledge into practice with our work placement module. Work with organisations in the international relations sector, such as policy think-tanks, development agencies and NGOs and get real experience before you graduate. Studying an international relations degree in London means that Westminster, global business, and diverse diasporas are all in easy reach. When you join Goldsmiths you will become part of a global academic family, with students from more than 130 countries and alumni around the globe.
Our International Relations degree investigates the dynamics of a constantly changing world and develops your knowledge and skills to address the global challenges of the 21st century.
