Profile
The International Relations degree will give you insight into the major world issues that challenge and fascinate us today. You’ll examine the forces that shape contemporary societies, such as globalization, international law, third-world debt, and American foreign policy. You’ll also study key institutions like the European Union and the United Nations. You’ll learn from staff with expertise in areas such as Terrorism and Counter-terrorism, European Union studies, Middle-Eastern studies, International Security and Conflict Studies, International Law and Aid, and Development Studies. The program also prepares you for the workforce by imparting broader abilities, such as oral and written communication skills, the capacity to think analytically, teamwork skills, and research techniques. This program has two streams: the International Relations stream and the Language stream. The international relations stream offers a wide range of optional modules. The second stream is the Language stream, students who choose to take the Language stream can take intermediate French, German, or Spanish as optional modules and should also satisfy the entry requirements (minimum H4 in Leaving Cert or Level C in GCE A Level C). The BA in International Relations is normally a three-year course. However, you may elect to spend an extra year abroad in one of our partner universities in China, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hungary, Poland, Scotland, Spain, Sweden, Turkey, and the USA. This is an excellent opportunity to experience another society firsthand. After you complete the year abroad, you’ll return to DCU for your final year.
