About this course

Politics and International Relations with a Year in Continental Europe
Politics is everywhere. It's exciting, but also frustrating, messy and complex. This is your time to make a difference. Bring your determination to us and we will give you the skills and confidence to make a change.

Make sense of the complex world of politics and international relations. Whether it's climate change, the rise of tyrannical leaders, gender politics, or the misuse of artificial intelligence and big data, you will understand today's political problems and gain the skills to pursue a career that can solve them.

You also benefit from the expertise of staff who have advised governments and conducted conflict mediation exercises. You'll deepen your understanding and develop solutions to a range of issues, such as the impact of the pandemic on politics and political polarisation.

Experience a different culture, gain a new academic perspective, establish international contacts, and enhance your employability with a year abroad at one of our partner universities in either the Czech Republic, Finland, Norway, Poland, or Turkey.
