The BSc (Hons) Politics & International Relations at Canterbury Christ Church University is designed for students passionate about understanding the complex dynamics of power, governance, and global affairs. You will explore critical contemporary issues such as inequality, conflict, and environmental sustainability, examining how political systems shape societies and how individuals can drive change. This undergraduate degree provides a robust academic framework for analysing real-world challenges, equipping you with the analytical tools to question, debate, and reimagine a more just and sustainable world through the lens of political theory and international relations.
Studied full-time on campus over three years, your learning journey will involve engaging with thought-provoking modules like 'Power, Politics and the State' and 'Unequal Worlds', alongside opportunities for practical application. In your second year, you will undertake a client project or innovation challenge, gaining invaluable real-world experience.
