Course Overview
As technology, transport, and a complex international economy make our world smaller, the value of peaceful and cooperative relationships between nations is increasingly important.
International relations are a vital aspect of citizenship in a global society, and our four-year BA International Relations with Spanish degree with a year abroad is one of the most important degree programmes we offer.
This interesting area of study explores globalization and global institutions, development and human rights, International and regional politics, peace and conflict, political economy, security studies and strategic studies and you will learn how power, institutions and laws affect our day-to-day lives.
You will also study Spanish language at either advanced (post-A level) or beginners level, as well as vocational modules in both translation and Spanish for the world of work.
