About

International relations is the study of an international system composed of territorial states which acknowledge no superior authority over matters. This International Relations degree from London School of Economics and Political Science studies the functioning, theory and history of this system, and the nature of the changing relations between states and non-state actors.

Overview

We will also investigate the widely different character and circumstances of states, examining the implications of the highly uneven distribution of power, money, welfare and knowledge in the international system for the foreign policies of states towards each other, and for the maintenance of international order.

Students on this International Relations degree from London School of Economics and Political Science also have the opportunity to receive a language specialism attached to their degree certificate and transcript - see the programme structure and courses section.

Our graduates have found work with a wide range of employers including multilateral and intergovernmental organisations, non-governmental organisations (NGOs), banking and accounting services, local and national governments, educational establishments, and media and publishing companies.
