Summary
Through discussions in class, you'll examine issues as diverse as economic inequality, the climate crisis, social migration, humanitarian law, conflict resolution, the rise of global cities and new digital technologies from a range of perspectives – touching on sociology, economics and history – while learning how to create new policies, strategies and solutions to mitigate problems.
You’ll also analyse relationships between countries, global non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and non-state operators, and explore the internal structures of international institutions like the United Nations (UN). You'll be exposed to leading academics and practitioners, who’ll provide cutting-edge analysis and bring the subject to life by sharing their direct experiences.
In your second term, you’ll join a mandatory field trip to the EU institutions in Brussels and either The Hague or Strasbourg, where you’ll meet global policy experts and take part in private tours. You’ll also benefit from visits to the Houses of Parliament, Westminster Magistrates’ Court and new exhibitions focused on political art. In your third term, you’ll work on a major project or dissertation – researching and analysing a topic that’s of interest to you.
While you study, you'll benefit from a paid membership to the Royal Institute of International Affairs at Chatham House – the world-leading international relations think-tank – where you can make use of their extensive library. Previously, students have joined debates with leading journalists and politicians, met global leaders Nancy Pelosi and Peter Obi, and – more recently – been advised on events in the Ukraine war.
You'll graduate with both a broad and deep understanding of global issues, politics, relationships and human rights – prepared for an exciting career in the fast-moving world of international relations. Alumni have pursued opportunities in embassies and NGOs and successfully launched careers in international organisations and inter-governmental institutions like the UN and EU.
Upon graduation, you'll receive an exclusive discounted membership to Chatham House – enabling you to attend further meetings, policy discussions and exclusive member events.

Summary
Global politics is undergoing fast and increasingly dramatic change. This course offers a thorough analysis of international relations, providing insight into the complexities of global politics from a range of perspectives.
Through discussions and debates in class, you'll carry out a detailed examination of international relations – analysing both historic events and current issues in the global political landscape, from power and responsibility to humanitarian and environmental law. You’ll study a wide range of theoretical perspectives across international relations and the social sciences, giving you a unique interdisciplinary basis from which to examine world affairs.
You’ll analyse the relationships between countries, institutions, international non-governmental organisations (INGOs) and non-state operators – exploring the internal structures of international institutions (such as the United Nations) and the complexities and processes involved in world affairs, including the importance of international law.
The research and analytical skills you develop will be matched by a strong practical focus, using current case studies to illustrate how theory relates to practice – developing new policy strategies and solutions. You’ll be exposed to leading practitioners in politics, human rights, media and academia, who'll provide cutting-edge analysis and bring the subject to life by sharing their direct experiences.
Plus, you'll have the chance to join our Model United Nations Conference: taking part in organised debates and panel discussions with over 2500 students from across London.
You'll graduate with both a broad and deep understanding of international relations, geopolitics and human rights – prepared for an exciting career in the fast-moving and uncertain world of global politics. Our alumni have successfully launched careers in international organisations and inter-governmental institutions such as the UN and the EU, and have explored policy-making and human rights.
Upon graduation, you’ll also receive an exclusive discounted membership to the Royal Institute of International Affairs at Chatham House – enabling you to attend prominent meetings, policy discussions and exclusive member events with high-profile speakers such as Nancy Pelosi, Michel Barnier, Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala and Tony Blair.
