International Relations

The undergraduate programme in International Relations offers you an academic perspective on the liaison between countries, and how bureaucratic decisions by hegemonic countries and the intervening action of administrative boards, state officials and elected representatives create a complex web of intercountry relations. During the course we will provide you with a coherent and clear image of how Western, European and Non-European countries coalesce, ranging from topics such as understanding foreign policy of USA and international economics, to international relations since 1919 and conflict resolution, to name a few. We also encourage you to participate in our Erasmus+ mobility programme, as we believe a multicultural perspective will provide a holistic academic journey.

Knowledge and Information Management

Knowledge and Information Management is offered as an honours main area of study together with a subsidiary area of study, or as one of two ordinary main areas of study, consisting of:

1. Year 1: to which 60 ECTS credits are assigned, and
2. Years 2 and 3: to which 120 ECTS credits are assigned.

At the end of Year 1, if you obtain an average mark of

1. 65% or better in the Knowledge and Information Management area of study, and
2. 60% or better in all the study units of Year 1,

then you will be eligible to proceed to the Honours programme. As a manager in knowledge and information, you will be responsible for the organisation, acquisition, documentation and handling of the body of information that a community or company shares. In your final year, you may have the opportunity to write a research-based dissertation to demonstrate your knowledge.
