Bachelor of International Relations

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.

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:
