INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS

International Relations is a part of Political Science. It looks at the global system and its effects on politics. Students learn about nation-states, cooperation, conflict, the causes of war, and the rules that keep order and peace. This International Relations course combines history, sociology, anthropology, media, law, and economics.

Our academic team includes internationally recognised experts. They publish in top peer-reviewed journals and with prestigious academic presses. Their research looks at state behavior and foreign policies. They study the UK, US, EU, and Latin America. They also explore conflict resolution, international law, and regional integration. This course tackles urgent global issues.

Students receive strong career support and practical experience. With help from civil servants and diplomats, they represent the University in model CoP and NATO negotiations. These events, organised by the British International Studies Association in London, help develop diplomatic skills and expand networks.

The "Practitioners in Politics and International Relations" series teams up with the Careers Office and Student Futures. It brings in leaders, like Members of Parliament and the Mayor of Liverpool, to help students explore political careers. Our team supports student engagement with the ‘Civil Service Masterclass.’ This programme, run by ‘Unique and Special Projects,’ is backed by the Department of Education, the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government, and the Metro Mayor.
