Program Description This innovative International Relations degree allows students to explore international issues and events, including relationships between states, peoples, social movements, and cultural and religious communities. Students will learn about the topics and processes currently shaping the world and gain a sense of how to make informed choices that have an impact at the local, national and global levels. During this course students will look at complex situations which are exciting and challenging to analyse. Students will take roles in simulation exercises, and try to understand how crises are managed and problems are handled by getting into the minds of different participants. This will build their confidence, and will give them presentation and advocacy skills and an understanding across cultural barriers. Students will be given the opportunity to develop specialist knowledge in geographical areas by choosing optional modules in Year Two and Year Three. Throughout this course, students will not just get to study, students will have the opportunity to put what they learn into practice. Students will be encouraged to undertake work placements and voluntary work.
