What will I study?
The BA (Hons) Politics and International Relations has been designed to build your skills, knowledge and confidence through a balance of core modules, which cover key skills and concepts in the field, and a selection of optional modules, which allow you to specialise in your own areas of interest.
Our BA in Politics and International Relations is taught through:
- Live lectures recorded for flexible learning
- Seminars where you can discuss and apply what you learned in small groups
- Workshops to develop and practice research skills
One of the main differences between school and university is how much control you have over your learning. At university, as well as spending time in classes, you’ll do lots of independent study with support from our staff.
