Course Overview

The BA (Hons) International Relations at Nottingham Trent University is a undergraduate programme designed for students passionate about understanding society. Based in Nottingham, England, this programme combines theoretical knowledge with practical application, with a 4-year full-time structure. The world of the future is globalised. Our planet is shared, our economy is interconnected, and the challenges we face demand co-operation — but international politics remains divided. This is the fundamental problem that students of International Relations (IR) must unravel, by confronting the critical issues we face as global citizens: from war and conflict, to climate change, global poverty, gender violence, and racial injustice. International tuition fees are £17,950 per year, home/UK fees are £9,790 per year, and a minimum IELTS score of 6.5 is required for admission. Graduates from this programme benefit from strong career prospects, with 88% student satisfaction rating, a median graduate salary of £24,000 within three years, and 79% of graduates in employment or further study.
