BSc International Politics
UCAS Code: L240
How can we better understand 'power' in the age of global terrorism, unprecedented economic shifts, social and humanitarian crises and environmental catastrophes?
Our undergraduate degree in International Politics offers a well-balanced portfolio of core courses in International Relations and specialised options which reflect the research work and expertise of our Faculty. Our programme progresses through three levels of study:
Year 1: Understanding ideas. By studying international history and the evolution of major ideas and concepts of International Relations, our first year students are introduced to the complex field of politics and the transformations that have underpinned globalisation.
Year 2: Understanding change: political, economic and social transformations of the 20th century and beyond. During their second year, students advance their conceptual understanding of the field of International Relations, and analyse the major spheres of political change, including: religion, social movements, international political economy, international and regional organisations.
Year 3: Understanding power in the 21st century. During their final year, students concentrate more closely on some of the contemporary issues of global politics and problems of global governance, and pursue individual research projects.
During all three years at City, students are welcome to chose elective modules from other Departments in the School of Social Sciences.
The skills of City International Politics graduates are highly sought after by governmental bodies, international institutions, non-governmental and civil society organisations, as well as the commercial sector. We welcome, and encourage, students from all backgrounds and all parts of the globe.
