BA (Hons) International Relations (with placement) in Nottingham United Kingdom | Nottingham Trent University

The future world is interconnected on a global scale. We share one planet, our economies are interdependent, and the problems we encounter require collaboration—yet international political systems stay fragmented. This core dilemma is what International Relations (IR) scholars must address, tackling pressing global concerns like warfare, environmental crises, worldwide inequality, gender-based violence, and racial discrimination.

At IRNTU, customization is key. After mastering foundational concepts in your first year, you'll tailor your degree to match your specific interests. Whether you're drawn to political conflict and extremism, the intersection of global politics and entertainment, or specialized studies in African, Latin American, and Caribbean affairs, the choice is yours. Aspiring diplomats, journalists, feminist scholars, or postcolonial theorists will all find their place here. The program culminates with an in-depth dissertation, allowing you to research your chosen topic under expert guidance and establish yourself as an IR specialist.

Our program revolutionizes IR education through unconventional methods, pioneering teaching techniques, and fostering inventive learning styles. You'll develop versatile skills for diverse careers in management, international affairs, journalism, nonprofit work, supply chain operations, global corporations, security sectors, and beyond. Tomorrow's careers demand global competence—and no program equips you better for this reality than our IR degree.
