Course summary

Interested in politics on a global scale? This BA Politics and International Relations will allow you to see the world while studying. Grapple with today’s big concepts – power, poverty, identity, inequality and trade. And get behind the headlines to learn what truly happens in corridors of power. This challenging and stimulating degree will give you critical insights and desirable skills for your future career. Study abroad for a semester in Europe, the USA or Hong Kong, and head to Westminster on an internship to work with a Peer or MP. Why study at Hull?

  • Three months in Westminster: Build your network and insider knowledge of the behaviours and norms of parliament in this valuable internship supported by our exclusive seminars delivered by senior political figures
  • Study abroad: Experience international political systems with an optional trimester in Europe, Hong Kong or the USA
  • Transferable skills: As well as laying the foundation for a career in politics, you’ll develop strong skills and experience valued by employers in a wide range of industries
Where could this take me? So many of Hull’s alumni work in Westminster they’re affectionately referred to as the ‘Hull Mafia’. And although a career in politics may be the obvious choice, you will have developed strong transferrable skills to give you options in many other sectors. Reason and research. Debate. Critical thinking. They’re all attributes employers look for. Graduates have gone into careers in the media, the Civil Service, for charities and international organisations. The world really will be your oyster.
