The opportunity to study Politics & International Relations at our campus in London offers the city as a classroom. The seat of the UK government and many of its agencies, prominent international organisations and world-renowned research institutes immediately surround our campus. These include UN IMO and Chatham House – The Royal Institute of International Affairs. We are neighbours to think-tanks including the Adam Smith Institute, policy centres such as the Global Policy Institute, and many archives and libraries. The BSc (Hons) Politics & International Relations degree comprises: 1. Political science – analysing the organisation of government and society2. Political theory – examining normative questions, political ideas, and ideologies3. International relations – problems of war, peace, security, economy, globalisation, and the conflicting and cooperative engagement amongst states and between state and non-state actors.The curriculum appraises the relationship between the individual and the state, the sources of authority, and forms of governance with significant implications for policy-making, policy choices, and policy outcomes. It fosters an understanding of agency through the study of power, justice, anarchy, order, conflict, legitimacy, accountability, obligation, sovereignty, mediation, security, governance, and decision-making at different levels of governance (e.g. local, regional, and global). Students develop a broad range of skills and knowledge relevant to institutional decision- and policy-making. Graduates can manage complex information flows and networks, collect appropriate material from a broad range of sources, and undertake causal and applied projects to develop and promote critical thinking. Students acquire the ability to contribute to debates on topical issues of great currency, and apply theoretical and methodological tools of policy, institutional, and behavioural analysis.
