The B.Sc. International Relations programme equips students with the knowledge and analytical skills required to understand international politics, diplomacy and power relations within the comity of nations, foreign policy, international organisations, conflict resolution, peace studies, global governance, international economic and strategic relations, migration dynamics, and how global issues affect our everyday lives.
