Bachelor of International Relations

ANU is a leader in the field of International Relations. This program will introduce students to International Relations, initially via the broad historical and intellectual framework which has framed the modern world of states since the 17th century. It will then concentrate on the 20th century, the age of World Wars and the Cold War, before addressing contemporary issues, the age of global political economy, global culture and communication, global environmental concerns and post-Cold war political conflict, including the ‘War on Terror’. With this flexible program students can extend their chosen language subject into a major, and have the opportunity to go on exchange or an international/national internship.
