International Relations (B.A.)

Bachelor’s degree program

You are passionately interested in what is happening in the world and soak up new information like a sponge. The big issues and challenges of our world are exciting for you and drive you forward, especially those relating to power, peace, security, international development justice and human rights. You are socially committed and curious about other cultures and ways of thinking. It is extremely rewarding for you to find solutions to a major challenge.

The curriculum focuses on understanding international politics. The content of the course is interlinked, as you will learn how to promote knowledge and values as a mediator of other cultures. You can specialize in international security, human rights and international law or international development. During a semester abroad, students can deepen their skills at one of our partner universities.
