In an age of globalisation, our daily lives are affected by what happens across the world. From the financial crisis to war and conflict, international relations matters. It shapes government policy, affects our job prospects and impacts the lives of people from all parts of the world. If you want to explore the role of state and organisation in an increasingly interconnected world, this international relations and politics degree is the right choice for you. In many cases, global politics and the decisions made by those in power can have significant consequences for populations and how they live. As part of this politics and international relations course, you'll debate different ideologies and policies in global politics, developing your understanding of why wars occur, why states cooperate (or don't cooperate) with each other, and how these ideas affect lives. Designed with a strong international focus, you'll also have the opportunity to spend your second year studying abroad, immersing yourself in a different culture and experiencing new ways of life. These experiences will provide you with the real-world experience needed to stand out in a competitive employment industry. In the most recent National Student Survey, this international relations and politics degree received 100% overall student satisfaction (University of Salford analysis of unpublished NSS 2020 data).<br><br>Combining academic study with hands-on experience, this course will prepare you to secure employment in a vast range of organisations, from local government to the civil service. The variety of modules on this degree will give you the flexibility to work in a variety of contexts, whether that's working in public administration or consultancy. Many of our graduates have also gone on to pursue roles in related areas like research and teaching.
