What it is
The degree joins political science with economics: political systems, global politics, international relations, international political economy, geopolitics, EU politics, human rights and economic diplomacy. Regional courses look at East Asia, Latin America, and US, Russian and EU policy, with attention to the EU's Eastern Partnership. Research methods run alongside, and internships take place at political institutions, international organisations, companies and diplomatic missions, before a bachelor thesis. Graduates work as policy advisers, diplomats and researchers, including in foreign ministries, or continue to a master's.
