International Relations and Politics (Hons) University of Lincoln

Overview

University of Lincoln's BA International Relations and Politics (Hons) degree enables students to develop the international knowledge and skill sets central to participation within a global society. Throughout the degree, students can build their professional skills and enhance their employability, and modules such as the Model United Nations help to develop valuable negotiating, speech-making, and diplomacy skills via a simulation of the UN General Assembly.

Placements

You'll have the opportunity to apply for the voluntary, competitive work placements scheme which is run with a local council. These opportunities can offer valuable experience of a professional policy environment. Placements are undertaken at the student’s own expense and you'll be responsible for the costs associated with general living, accommodation, and travel.

Study Abroad Year

An optional year abroad is available for full-time students between the second and third years. A Study Abroad Tuition Fee is payable to the University of Lincoln during this year for students joining in 2025/26 and beyond. No extra tuition fee is payable to the host university, but students are expected to cover their own travel, accommodation, and living costs. Travel grants and an overseas rate maintenance loan may be available for eligible students from Student Finance. The University’s Global Opportunities Team can provide further support and guidance.
