Course Overview

International relations and politics are of vital importance to all of us in our daily lives. They concern fundamental choices about the ways in which societies are organized and the way we are governed, both within states and in the international community. You will be taught by researchers in the fields of international relations and politics, doing cutting edge research in key issues relevant to your studies and working experience. A degree in International Relations and Politics at Keele will equip you with the necessary tools to understand and explain how power operates and how we might begin to tackle the most pressing domestic and global challenges. You will study contemporary and policy-relevant issues such as democracy, global inequality, protest, globalization, regime change, energy security, environmental sustainability, human rights, gender politics, and terrorism. You can underpin these issues through an in-depth study of particular countries such as Britain, the United States, and Russia, as well as regions in Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East.
