Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - International Relations with Economics with Year Abroad (LL2B)

The International Relations with Economics with Year Abroad degree at the University of Birmingham combines an interdisciplinary approach to the study of international affairs with a specialised knowledge of economics (with a particular emphasis on international economics).

This degree combines an interdisciplinary approach to the study of international affairs with a specialised knowledge of economics, particularly international economics. As well as economics, students study international and comparative politics, the theory and practice of international relations, and diplomatic history.

On this four-year Year Abroad programme, students will undertake a year abroad between the second and fourth years at a partner HE institution. This will give students the opportunity to experience a different academic environment and way of teaching (and even different approaches to the subject). The year abroad will also enhance students' employability prospects through a proven ability to succeed in a foreign setting, and will provide an additional opportunity to develop relevant, marketable skills in terms of organisation, communication, and intercultural awareness.
