Course Summary

This programme equips students to examine, question, understand and explain global issues which affects the world around us, from security and terrorism, migration and mobility, to global financial crises.The diploma provides a foundation in the academic discipline of International Relations - the array of ‘real world’ practices and problems that produce world politics: looking for example, at diplomacy, arms control and arms proliferation, global health policy, humanitarian intervention and international development policy. While still attending closely and consistently to issues of world politics such as armed conflict and negotiations, it offers a significantly broader education in international politics by examining contemporary issues of international politics from a multitude of perspectives, both traditional and more critical.The programme provides an opportunity to study the deep structures that constitute world order, and the pressing contemporary issues that we face, such as armed conflict, human displacement, inequality and injustice. As such, it offers a balance between covering core content in the field of International Relations while allowing students to actively develop areas of specialisation as they progress through choosing elective courses according to their own interests.
