This is a joint honours degree, split 50:50 between Politics and International Studies, and French until the final year when students can choose to retain the 50:50 balance or focus 75:25 toward either discipline.

Core training in Politics is combined with the global perspective provided by International Studies modules, and by a focus on the French language and Francophone society. Political theory, international relations and French language modules provide the core of the degree. Independent and collaborative study in these areas will develop your abilities in investigative and evaluative research, presentation and critical analysis, and build strong written and oral French communication skills. The degree features a compulsory year abroad either studying or working in a French speaking country. You can choose to be abroad in year 2 or 3.
