The BA (Hons) International Relations and Politics degree at UEA offers a dynamic and comprehensive journey through the complex world of global and domestic politics. In the first year, students gain foundational knowledge of political theory and international systems, exploring key themes such as democracy, conflict, globalisation, and historical power structures. The second year sharpens analytical and research skills through core modules on political institutions, international relations theories, and data analysis, while offering the chance to begin specialising in areas of personal interest. The third year provides a transformative experience abroad, allowing students to broaden their perspectives by studying in a different cultural and academic environment. In the final year, students undertake an independent research project or dissertation, while also building professional and employability skills through practical experiences and advanced module options. This course is ideal for students seeking to understand and engage with the forces shaping our world, while also preparing for a wide range of careers in politics, diplomacy, policy, media, or further academic study.
