This programme challenges views on global politics, considering the roles of international civil society, activists and non-Eurocentric understandings of politics. Applying academic knowledge to real-world situations you'll have practical and professional opportunities throughout the degree.

This programme will help you develop critical skills beyond Eurocentric views of international politics. You'll learn to engage with different perspectives, questioning the boundaries between politics, culture, ecology, religion and the economy.

As you delve into current global issues, you will explore the emergence of new geopolitical powers in the Global South, the widening gap between the rich and the poor, the afterlives of neoliberalism, the influence of feminism in shaping politics, initiatives to revive democracy in the face of populism, the significance of human rights and memory in establishing a fair international system, and the pressing need for sustainable development amid ecological devastation.

You'll learn about the impact of activism and activists on global politics. You will analyse and critically assess the emergence of new forms of politics and resistance in international politics. The programme will encourage you to think creatively about new forms of political mobilisation and organisation and transformative ideas like ""decolonisation"".

You'll be able to work in an interdisciplinary fashion, exploring cutting-edge perspectives in the social sciences while adding critical insights from art, the humanities and cultural studies to your toolbox.

During the programme, you'll get the chance to innovate and develop your own ideas, research and professional agendas with the support of a team of expert scholars working in diverse fields and regions of study, including Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Middle East, as well as Europe and the USA.

Through innovative teaching and partnerships, this program aligns academia, activism, politics, and NGOs.
