BA (Hons) International Governance and Public Policy

The BA International Governance and Public Policy is an interdisciplinary program combining elements of three subjects: international relations and diplomacy, international business, and international law. This combination of academic subjects will enable you to understand the major political, business, and legal aspects of how international processes are organized and governed. The major discipline in this degree program is international relations (IR). Most analysis of national politics includes a study of what governments do, but because there is no government at the international level, international relations focus on relations between states. IR explores the patterns of conflict and cooperation between states, international organizations, and non-state actors such as transnational business corporations and civil society groups which make up the international political system.

Employability:

The program is characterized by its interdisciplinary nature, cutting across international relations and diplomacy, international business, and international law. It aims to recruit the students who are inspired to work in international organizations, foreign affair-related departments, multinational companies, international government organizations, diplomatic services, international business, international court, and world trade organizations or research institutes.
