INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS SINGLETON PARK CAMPUS

As technology, transport, and a complex international economy make our world smaller, the value of peaceful and cooperative relationships between nations is increasingly important. On this degree you will look behind the headlines to the key players in world politics, exploring important ideas and how we can solve conflict or achieve cooperation.

On our International Relations programme, you will explore globalisation and global institutions, development and human rights, international and regional politics, peace and conflict, political economy, security and strategic studies, and you will learn how power, institutions and laws affect our day-to-day lives. You will gain an understanding of the patterns of behaviour between nations, their leaders and corporations, focusing on the interactions and inter-relationships between philosophical, political and economic thought. You have the opportunity of a competitive placement with the Welsh Parliament / Senedd Cymru as part of the module: The Welsh Parliament / Senedd Cymru. Due to it being in high-demand, the placement is not always guaranteed. Swansea University is also one of a limited number of institutions selected to partner with the UK Parliament to deliver an innovative Parliamentary Studies module, where you will be taught by our specialist academic staff and members of parliament, as well as get to visit the House of Commons in London.
