Course Overview
Youll have the opportunity to explore major political topics going beyond the UK and Europe, covering North America, South Asia, China, Japan or the emerging global powers. You will not only study the traditional subjects of the discipline, such as security, political economy, or democratization but also have the chance to delve into ethics, sports, gender, protests or religion.
You will also learn about international politics, as well as investigating the forces which influence policy and give rise to conflicts between the achievement of economic, environmental, and social objectives.
Language modules in Arabic, Mandarin Chinese, French, German or Spanish, will help to further prepare you for a career in a global environment.
An optional placement year offers the chance to apply your learning in a work or study placement in the UK or overseas. Whether you choose to study abroad, work for a company, or to teach, Astons links with employers, schools, and universities around the world mean you will have a wide range of options to boost your employability and explore the world of work.
