Course summary

Top 3 in the UK for student experience for Politics and International Relations - The Times and Sunday Times Good University Guide 2026

BSc Politics & International Relations reflects the needs of our time. The course reimagines the knowledge, skills and attributes that are critical to creating a sustainable future for humanity and nature.

You will examine questions that are integral to making sense of politics today: How can we build a sustainable world where there is fairness between generations, class and gender equality, environmental restoration, and peace within and between countries?

Our excellent and highly qualified teaching team will guide and support you as you interrogate themes such as power, security, ethics, inequality, sustainability, leadership, development, governance and justice. Our innovative teaching includes simulations, role-playing and student conferences.

This truly interdisciplinary degree equips you to understand, respond to and lead your communities in a challenging, changing world. You will benefit from approaches including behavioural economics, political economy, international relations, sociology and political philosophy.

You will develop critical, innovative and interdisciplinary thinking, and professional skills as compassionate advocates of sustainability. You will graduate with the knowledge, skills and understanding required for a wide range of career pathways, ready and empowered to tackle global challenges.

CCCU has a stimulating learning environment where you can share your knowledge, deepen your understanding and polish your debating skills. You will also have networking opportunities with our graduates to find out how you can build a career in the civil service, international business, the NGO sector, or academia.

We know employers are looking for dynamic, open-minded graduates who can adapt, innovate, and collaborate. So we have designed a new way of teaching and learning to ensure that you are work-ready for when you graduate.
