Course Description
How will the West adapt to the growth of Asia’s economic and political influence on global affairs? How might this shift in power affect the world order? How will relationships between Asia and the West evolve?
Our BA International Relations and Asian Studies will give you insights into the latest political and international relations developments within Asia and between Asia and the rest of the world. You will study key themes such as the evolution of the Asian continent and the complex challenges of global politics. Teaching is underpinned by the work of our Asia Research Institute, which addresses the major political, social and economic challenges of the region.
You’ll be fully immersed in the culture of the region when you spend your second year studying at either our China or Malaysia campus. Through a range of optional modules, you can tailor your degree to your interests and career goals in areas such as environmental governance, security, the media, and social and global justice.
