Overview

You’ll explore the major challenges shaping global politics today, including terrorism, poverty, war, climate change, famine, pandemics, gender inequality, financial crises, transnational crime and underdevelopment. 

The International Relations (Double Degree) programme offered by University of East Anglia equips you with the knowledge and skills to understand and address these issues within the international system. 

Kye Features

You’ll also get the chance to live and study in Japan, gaining fresh insights and a global perspective on international relations. 

A key highlight of the course is a potential study trip to Brussels, where you’ll visit the European Union and NATO, engage with academics, politicians and officials, and explore a range of international organisations, NGOs and think tanks. This trip’s subject to government health advice. 

Throughout the programme, you’ll join discussions and learning sessions with experts and representatives from major international bodies like the European Institute for Asian Studies, International Committee of the Red Cross, World Health Organization and UNESCO—all subject to current health guidance.
