We understand that deciding where and what to study is a very important decision. We’ll make all reasonable efforts to provide you with the courses, services and facilities described in this prospectus. However, if we need to make material changes, for example due to government or regulatory requirements, or unanticipated staff changes, we’ll let you know as soon as possible. How is humanity organised at the world level, and where does power really lie When and why did the modern global international system come into being What are the key ideas people have used to try and understand big international issues such as war and peace, and wealth and poverty And how can we use these ideas to address the urgent challenges – climate change, human rights, terrorism and international inequality – facing the world today. At Sussex, we pioneer new critical approaches to these questions. Because we are one of the largest dedicated International Relations departments in the world, we have a wide range of expertise. From philosophy to law and modern languages, you take electives from other subjects to open your mind to other disciplines and tailor your degree to your interests. And that gives you plenty of choice in how you shape your degree.
