Course summary

Examine the constantly evolving and most pressing political and security challenges our world faces today. With the unprecedented challenges our society is encountering, it is more important than ever that we explore and advance our understanding of international politics. On this course you will look at the complex nature of politics, power, war, security, culture, gender and inequality and how they play out in the world.

We recognise the need to adopt a global perspective when it comes to tackling the pressing issues facing us. Some of the issues we will cover on this course include:

  • New security challenges in a multi-polar world
  • Diplomacy
  • Women
  • Religion
  • Peacebuilding
  • Public Health

Whether you already work in a policy role for government or third-party sector organisation, or this is a career you would like to pursue, this course will give you the opportunities to develop the knowledge and gain experience you need. You will learn how to think about complex issues and engage with a diverse range of perspectives. We will support you in completing a dissertation that will focus on a topic that interests you. This will demonstrate your ability to combine theory and experience to tackle current political challenges.

There will be regular research seminars for you to join. You will be invited to hear guest speakers discussing international politics and security issues. These will give you policy perspectives from a variety of relevant fields.
