BA (Hons) International Relations and Politics | Part-time

About your course This innovative degree will provide a grounding in international relations theory while examining in-depth issues of enduring international significance. By examining the challenges the world faces today, we will encourage you to develop your own opinions and actively engage in politics. We recognise that people interested in these topics are not always able to dedicate three years full-time to their studies. Whether you have family, caring or work commitments, or need additional time to develop your skills and assimilate knowledge, the part-time degree is a great option for you. Delivered part-time over five years, this degree allows you to continue your existing lives whilst completing an undergraduate degree. We take a multi-level approach, recognising there is more than the state level of international relations. With the support of the department team, you will gradually develop an understanding of a range of topics including culture, theories, politics, economics, and law, to develop a complete understanding of multiplicity of actors and processes. To develop your skills and knowledge outside of the classroom, we hold and attend regular events and workshops with practitioners and experts. We also arrange fieldtrips to places including, Edinburgh and Derry/Londonderry, and we offer a series of work-based learning opportunities. In addition, we have range of other opportunities for you, including simulation exercises such as the BISA Climate Change event at Chatham House, London and the Model NATO event at the Foreign, Commonwealth, and Development Office (FCDO), London.
