Programme Overview

This degree is an interdisciplinary programme that facilitates a critical analysis of the evolutionary theories, principles, practices, institutions and norms   that underpin the international political economy.  Matriculates will critically interrogate contemporary issues and debates in the field of international relations related to issues such as diplomacy and negotiation, security and conflict, international trade, international law, the environment and economic systems. Matriculates will be given an opportunity to study the interaction/relations among different state and non-state actors in international politics to examine how these interactions/relations are shaped by various domestic, regional and global factors. The programme also includes components such as simulation exercises and an internship programme (for finalizing students) to balance the theoretical knowledge acquired with practical skills/experiences.
