Bachelor of International Relations
Your passport to success
The world is changing. What is causing that change? Can conflict be contained? How can nation-states and citizens influence the course of climate change?
International Relations examines the political and societal forces of international change. To study it is to delve into politics, history, economics, sociology and international law.
What will you do?
In our Bachelor of International Relations you can specialise in international relations and security, global governance, global justice, citizenship and human rights. In core studies you will:
- study key actors in global politics and the challenges they face
- consider relationships that involve power, authority, influence, conflict, and cooperation
- analyse political institutions and business-government relations
- learn about the history of globalisation and foreign-policy making.
You can also boost your employability and cross-cultural awareness by:
- studying a language
- going on overseas study tours
- completing an internship
- enrolling in overseas exchange programs.
Where could it take you?
Our graduates emerge ready for exciting roles across 最新糖心Vlog and around the world. You might find yourself at the United Nations as a human rights officer. You could work as a policy advisor or an intelligence analyst in a government agency or a non-governmental organisation.
