This is a joint honours course, where you study International Relations alongside Philosophy. International Relations studies world affairs and examines some of the critical issues of modern and contemporary times, such as the changing nature of international co-operation and conflict; the impact of globalisation on states and societies; and the persistence of world problems such as poverty, human rights and global environmental degradation. Our Centre for Global Politics, Economy, and Society has three research groups in Critical International Studies, European Politics and Society, and Social and Political Change. Teaching staff are active researchers with strong publication records. Philosophy tackles some of the most exciting and fundamental questions about human nature and our place in the world, such as whether the mind is a computer and if it is rational to believe in God. You will explore the way we think and reason and the assumptions that underpin what we think we know about ourselves and the world. You will gain a comprehensive understanding of the history of philosophy and contemporary debates, as well as the ability to ask challenging questions, reach reasoned conclusions and express yourself with clarity and precision.

In the International Relations element of the course, what you study includes: Year 1 introduces you to the discipline of International Relations and looks at contemporary issues in world politics. In Year 2 you will study key areas of the discipline, including research into politics and international relations, global governance and the global political economy. In Year 3 you will be able to choose from a range of specialist honours modules including Global Environmental Politics, and International Human Rights Law. In the Philosophy element of the course, what you study includes: Year 1 modules include Introduction to Philosophy, Academic Literacy: Philosophy, Introduction to Ethics and Theory of Knowledge. Years 2 and 3 let you grapple with the ideas of great thinkers from Plato to Wittgenstein and examine contemporary developments in areas ranging from the philosophy of mind to culture, gender and sexuality.
