COURSE CURRICULUM

The BA (Hons) International Relations and Politics program at Lincoln delivers a dynamic three-year pathway examining global and domestic political challenges. Year 1 establishes foundations through comparative politics, power structures, and British governance, with optional social science concepts. Year 2 advances to Model United Nations, research methods, theoretical frameworks in international relations and politics, and professional practice, complemented by choices in European politics, foreign policy, political parties, transnational security, or placement year. In Year 3, students master global public sphere challenges and an independent study, selecting from specialised modules on terrorism, human rights, Middle East relations, migration, decolonial futures, or multiculturalism. The curriculum fosters negotiation, diplomacy, and analytical skills through simulations and real-world application. Graduates emerge equipped for influential roles in government, NGOs, diplomacy, and policy analysis.
