Politics and International Relations with a Year in Industry

Politics and International Relations with a Year in Industry
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.

Tailor your degree to suit you with a placement year where you'll work in industry for a year. Put into practice the skills you've learnt and build important industry connections.
