Students will explore in depth key theories, issues and controversies, and will have the opportunity to pursue interdisciplinary studies and develop their interests in a vibrant and intellectually stimulating environment.
The programme hosts an official "Jean Monnet Module" (one of the core courses of the programme), recognised by the European Commission for its interdisciplinary and student-centred approach.

There is also a vibrant community of students interested in international and European Politics, so students will have plenty of opportunities to network with their peers, organise events and even work on publications in the Leviathan - the University’s own journal of Politics and International Relations.
