Program Overview

This degree will provide you with a deep understanding of policy, politics and power in the domestic and international spheres. You'll learn about political movements and institutions, processes of lawmaking, diplomacy and global politics. You'll explore how democracy thrives or struggles to survive, and the strategies authoritarian leaders increasingly use to maintain their grip on power, among a range of other exciting topics in Political Science and International Relations.

In your second and third years, you'll gain valuable specialised knowledge by completing one or two majors in International Relations, Political Science and Public Policy; or Security, Conflict and Human Rights. Throughout your studies, you'll gain the skills and training needed for pursuing your own career pathway, including taking dedicated employability courses and having opportunities to complete a work placement, field study trip, or parliamentary internship.


Major: International Relations

This course introduces students to the major themes and issues studied in the discipline of International Relations. Topics to be engaged include the development of the current international system, war, terrorism and non-traditional security threats, international law and organisations, diplomacy and foreign policy, international political economy, development, and global environmental issues. Students will be introduced to the primary theoretical approaches used by International Relations scholars to explain or interpret global events and processes. The course also introduces students to key concepts and practices related to employability and career readiness in International Relations and related fields.
