The Politics and International Relations BA (Hons) at De Montfort University provides you with a dynamic exploration of political events, processes, and the theoretical ideas that underpin global dynamics. This course is ideal if you are keen to understand complex issues from local governance to international crises, developing your analytical skills in areas such as political theory, public policy, and global political economy. You will gain a comprehensive understanding of how political systems function and the forces that shape societies, preparing you to engage critically with contemporary challenges.
Studied full-time on campus over three years, this programme uses a block learning timetable, allowing you to focus deeply on one subject at a time. You will explore diverse pathways, from contemporary international relations theory and global inequalities to decolonising politics and sustainable futures, culminating in a Politics and International Relations Project. You will have opportunities to engage with real political actors and benefit from research-informed teaching. Graduates are equipped with transferable skills for careers in government, NGOs, policy analysis, and international organisations.
