By majoring in Politics and International Studies, you'll develop the skills to analyze intricate political challenges in our interconnected global landscape. Governance—the interplay of systems, choices, and operations—forms the foundation for how organizations, corporations, and countries function. Throughout this program, you'll investigate political authority, governmental policies, institutional frameworks, ideologies, and their evolution across local and international contexts. Discover how entities, including governing institutions, thrive under effective leadership and robust organizational structures. As Western Australia's exclusive program of this nature, it integrates political and economic influences to cultivate fresh perspectives on global dynamics.
