Course Overview

The BA (Hons) International Relations (with integrated year in Industry) at Aberystwyth University is a undergraduate programme designed for students passionate about understanding society. Based in Aberystwyth, Wales, this programme combines theoretical knowledge with practical application, with a 4-year full-time structure. International Relations is about how we tackle global challenges. World politics stands at a fascinating but difficult historical juncture, one that as political beings, we all need to understand, explain and, in part shape. With the relative decline of the ‘West’, the emergence of new powers and actors, and the increasingly complex and intertwined nature of local, national, regional, international and global problems, ‘international politics’ is entering a new era. International tuition fees are £19,190 per year, home/UK fees are £9,535 per year, and a minimum IELTS score of 6.0 is required for admission. Graduates from this programme benefit from strong career prospects, with 96% student satisfaction rating, a median graduate salary of £22,000 within three years, a 100% continuation rate, and 70% of graduates in employment or further study.
