INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS

Study an International Relations degree that puts global politics into practice. At Liverpool Hope University, you'll explore how countries cooperate and compete, why conflicts happen, and how international organisations work to create peace and security. 

This course combines insights from politics, history, sociology, law, economics and media to help you understand the biggest issues shaping our world, including migration, climate change, global security and international conflict. You'll learn through simulations, policy briefs and assessments that reflect real-world careers in diplomacy and international affairs. 

Small class sizes mean your voice matters. You'll debate ideas, challenge perspectives and receive personalised support from expert academics whose research spans UK, US, EU and Latin American politics, foreign policy and conflict resolution. 

Beyond the classroom, you'll have opportunities to study abroad, hear from political leaders and industry professionals, and represent Liverpool Hope in national activities such as model UN Conference of Parties (COP), and Northern Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) negotiations hosted by the British International Studies Association (BISA). It's an International Relations degree designed to help you think globally, build professional skills and prepare for an international future.
