Politics today is shaped not only by domestic issues, but perhaps more importantly by a range of international and global issues that even the most inward-looking States can’t ignore.

Politics today is shaped not only by domestic issues, but perhaps more importantly by a range of international and global issues that even the most inward-looking States can’t ignore. From migration, through the trafficking of people and drugs, to international crime and terrorism, and on to the climate crisis, the study of Politics and International Relations takes us to the heart of issues that are reshaping our world. But addressing these issues is not only a task for politicians and States, important as these may be, and so here at Wolverhampton we also explore the many local, regional and international organisations that work together with States to find sustainable solutions to these global issues. Studying Politics and International Relations at Wolverhampton offers you an opportunity not only to engage with a wide range of current concerns facing the international community, but also encourages you to explore how you might make a difference in shaping a response to these issues. To this end, our curriculum not only provides you with conceptual and intellectual tools that will help you to better understand how international relations work, but also provides you with the knowledge and skills required to engage with those organisations and institutions – political and non-political – that work in the field of international problem-solving. In this regard, your Sandwich Placement year will provide you with a valuable opportunity to gain practical experience of working within and for a company or organisation connected with the fields of Politics and International Relations. Although your programme of study will help you to develop and refine key subject-specific skills geared towards academic success your Sandwich Placement will give you first-hand experience of how professional organisations work to achieve their goals. You will not only gain valuable practical experience of working in a professional environment, but will also build valuable contacts while developing an experience-based skillset that future employers will value.
