The major in International Relations will give you the tools required to understand and have an impact on current global challenges and opportunities.

In the second and third years you have the opportunity to explore further key areas of global politics like international security and law, human rights, the global politics of China or the international political economy. Studying international relations will develop your skills in researching and comparing cross-national politics and societies; analysing and evaluating complex systems; and autonomously researching, writing and presenting.
