Bachelor of Arts (Honours) - International Relations and Social Policy (LL24)

International Relations is a multidisciplinary subject, which draws in contributions from politics, history, media, sociology, law, economics and religion. Global issues dominate the news headlines on a daily basis and International Relations will allow students to focus on this dimension of politics. This is an opportunity to become an expert in international issues in a historical, political and cultural context. Social Policy explores the ways in which welfare provision is delivered in society, exploring who is eligible for support and who provides it. Liverpool Hope University's Social Policy degree is multidisciplinary in its approach and draws on ideas from sociology, economics, politics and geography. It explores issues such as inequality, ill health and wellbeing, child welfare, employment and unemployment, educational opportunities, disability, homelessness, family policies, mental health, globalization, crime and immigration.

The degree draws on an experienced team of lecturers who are published in the social sciences and are experts in social policy. The School is also a member of the national network of Social Policy course providers and benefits from engagement with national subject debates. There are fieldtrips to enhance students' learning, and the university also has annual research days where leading academics, civil servants and politicians come to talk about various social problems and social issues.
