Introduction
The study of Economics allows you to analyze some of today's profound problems, such as poverty and economic growth, developing economies, environmental protection, and financial and monetary crises. You also consider the dilemmas facing households, firms, and governments, such as the provision of education, roles of labor markets, and regulation of markets.
Politics and international relations is an exciting, fast-changing, broad-based discipline. Our programs are extremely flexible and offer extensive module choices, reflecting the research interests of our staff, including conflict resolution, federalism, comparative politics, European integration, ethnic conflict, terrorism, the theory of international relations, political theory, and the politics of countries such as China, Japan, Russia, and the USA.
Year in Industry
This program includes an opportunity to spend a year working in industry between Stages 2 and 3. This greatly enhances your CV and allows you to apply your academic skills in a practical context.
