International Relations

Overview

All courses are designed by LSE academics – globally renowned thought leaders who seek to understand the causes of things for the betterment of society through critical thinking and interdisciplinary education.

The LSE Department of International Relations – one of the largest and most esteemed in the world – continues that tradition. Its leading academics collaborate to solve pressing global issues through world-leading research. They are continually examining the sources of global conflict, analysing the behaviours of state and non-state actors, and asking important questions about ethics and morality on the global stage.

State actors aren’t the only employers navigating their roles in a changing world. In PricewaterhouseCoopers’ 2020 global survey of more than 3,500 CEOs, more than a third of respondents identified geopolitical uncertainty, trade conflicts and policy uncertainty as major threats.

If you study international relations, you will gain a rich understanding of these concepts, as well as highly transferable professional skills. You can help bridge cultural gaps and address complex problems; develop balanced judgements that assimilate diverse information sources; and communicate your ideas with confidence and clarity.
