International Relations (Distance Learning) (Taught)

Explore pressing issues and power struggles in today’s globalised world. You’ll examine how states and societies cooperate on our international relations postgraduate course, and question world politics and the global economy.

You’ll get to know the key players, organisations, and policies that underpin world economies. You’ll challenge their aims. And discuss the obstacles they face. You’ll explore how systems impact individuals like refugees and protesters, as well as global problems like the climate emergency.

You’ll have the freedom to pursue what interests you. This might involve scrutinising the Paris Agreement or analysing Fair Trade. Or examining social movements like the Yellow Vests, Flygskam, or pro-democracy activism in Hong Kong.

You can also study this course on-campus.

Assessment is conducted through a variety of assignments linked to the expected learning outcomes.

Assignments will include:

essays
presentations
projects
reports
your dissertation

These will be spread over the year to provide constant feedback and assessment.
