Overview

Political theory and international relations theory will provide the core of your studies in year one with progressively more optional choices throughout the degree.

With a 75:25 split between Politics and International Studies, and Chinese, this degree gives you the opportunity to acquire Chinese language skills while gaining a strong understanding of Politics and International Studies.

You will engage critically with the political world, from national and global perspectives, exploring the theoretical and empirical approaches to political ideas. You will also study in China during your third year.

Our Politics and International Studies with Chinese graduates at the University of Warwick leave with the ability to understand complex theoretical positions and apply them to political problems.
