International Relations Rhine-Waal University of Applied Sciences

Overview

The Bachelor programme International Relations at Rhine-Waal University of Applied Sciences examines political dimensions of globalisation and European integration, internationalisation strategies of companies and non-governmental organizations. We analyse various phenomena which transcend boundaries in today’s world: commerce and climate change, values and political ideas, rights and regulations. IR-students organise events and simulations which connect the lecture hall with real-world experiences, such as KleMUN (Kleve Model United Nations) or KleMAU (Kleve Model African Union). These student-driven activities shape our campus life.
