Description:

Politics and international relations is a fast-changing, broad-based discipline, allowing you to engage with the key issues of today. Our degree programme at Kent gives you a strong foundation in the subject with a specific focus on the global aspects of contemporary world politics.

The School of Politics and International Relations is an exciting place to study - you receive high-quality teaching informed by cutting-edge research on a range of political issues, such as ethno-political conflict, human rights, feminism, social theories of justice, divided societies, and US and European politics.

At Kent, you are taught by people who have advised government departments or have conducted international conflict mediation exercises. They bring this experience to their teaching, giving you the opportunity to see how theoretical ideas apply in the real world.

Many of our lecturers have also won teaching awards for their innovative teaching practices.

Our degree programme

This programme combines all the strengths of our three-year BA degree in Politics and International Relations with the opportunity to spend a year in North America at one of our partner institutions in Canada or the United States. A full list of our available partnerships is available on our Go Abroad pages.

You spend your first two years studying at Kent, you then spend your third year in North America, returning to Kent for your final year. 

Studying abroad you develop your intercultural awareness and understanding and are introduced to a range of different academic and professional cultures.

At Kent, you study a combination of compulsory and optional modules; however if you are keen to widen your field of interest, you can also choose to study modules from another school in the University.  

It is also possible to study abroad at other destinations. For details, see:

  • Politics and International Relations with a Year in Continental Europe
  • Politics and International Relations with a Year in the Asia Pacific

In addition, we offer a three-year Politics and International Relations programme without a year abroad. For details, see Politics and International Relations.
