International Politics And Policy BA (hons) in University of Liverpool

Studying International Politics brings a focus on power, authority, citizenship, conflict and cooperation in the world around us. 

Current international trends are interpreted in a historical perspective yet with a view to future directions and likely developments. Politics affects all our lives and with a deeper understanding you can join in conversations that address key issues.
