BA (Hons) International Governance and Public Policy (in Partnership with Beijing Foreign Studies University)

The BA International Governance and Public Policy is an interdisciplinary programme combining elements of three subjects: international relations and diplomacy, international business and international law. This combination of academic subjects will enable you to understand the major political, business and legal aspects of how international processes are organised and governed.

The major discipline in this degree programme is international relations (IR). International relations is based on a range of other disciplines in the social sciences: politics, sociology and (international) law, and the humanities – primarily history. The political aspect of the subject analyses the distribution of resources. In examining the related questions of power, order, justice, conflict and legitimacy in the interaction of people, ideas and institutions, international relations is, however, different to other approaches to politics.
