Course summary

Every organisation needs people who can think about how the world works. BSc Management, Politics and International Relations will help you become one of them. Strategic business decisions, from the smallest to the largest, depend on global politics, the politics of states and the politics of regions. The interrelationships between business, the economy, and political decision-making cannot be ignored. Business does not happen in isolation from the environment in which it exists.


Course overview

Our four-year interdisciplinary and non-quantitative course is unique to the UK. We combine our expertise in management, work and technology, marketing and entrepreneurship with politics and international relations to understand the complex realities of a rapidly changing world. We step away from simplistic business models and offer you the chance to dive deeper into politics, international relations and management as they really are in the current global economy and environment.Think about Brexit, about the political responses to the global pandemic, about international trade tensions, or about climate change: these are just some examples of the deep connections between management, business, and politics. All raise questions about the fundamental problems facing us all at personal, local and global levels. They are going to shape the coming decades and require fresh thinking.How will management and businesses respond? The answers to these complex questions will come from those who understand the challenges the world is facing, who are not fazed by complexity, and who are not hampered by old business thinking.Graduates with such a well-rounded understanding of the world are more responsible leaders, better able to navigate complexities and succeed in business and management.


Key facts

After a solid grounding in all areas of management, politics and international relations, you will apply to join, in the third year, an organisation in the UK or overseas for a one-year placement, helping you to apply your knowledge to real-world situations. Previous students have worked with companies such as Hyundai, Deloitte and Sony, and the Civil Service in roles across business development, marketing, recruitment, PR and management. If you are unsuccessful in securing a suitable placement for your third year, you can transfer to the equivalent non-placement degree scheme, finishing your degree after your third year.


Course outcomes

As a graduate of this degree, you will be employable in all sectors of industry and commerce, as well as various Non-governmental organisations, governmental institutions and other organisations. You will be able to decipher the macro-environment and its impact on business, in order to be a leader in your chosen career.
