Description:

This joint program draws on a range of social science disciplines to examine challenging and controversial national and international issues such as human rights, poverty, and social exclusion. International Relations is the study of how political, economic, and cultural forces interact to mould relationships between nations. Social Policy examines how the decisions that determine the way we live are made. Studying these two interdisciplinary subjects together aims to provide students with the opportunity to develop an understanding of the way in which the national concerns of a country feed into its social policy agenda.

Teaching is informed by the research expertise of academic staff from the School of Social and Political Sciences, who contribute to national policy debates and are engaged in research across a range of specialisms, currently including the politics of welfare, gender and sexuality, the international political economy, war crimes and genocide, and the politics of global health. The International Relations modules aim to build from a focus on the nation state in a world context to a detailed analysis of core regions, such as the EU and the Middle East.
