Overview
The program allows students to develop diverse analytical and practical skills to navigate complex international relations and the domestic-global nexus. It provides students with the necessary conceptual tools and empirical knowledge to acquire intercultural competency and build the capacity to critically explore key issues central to global politics and interstate relations from competing perspectives, including great power rivalry, international security, global justice and citizenship. By facilitating students’ understanding of the international challenges affecting Australia’s interests in the Indo-Pacific and beyond, the program prepares them for employment opportunities in the Australian federal and state government departments, non-governmental organizations and businesses, and international organizations. In addition to core courses and closed electives in International Relations, students have the opportunity to complete a minor in History, International Development, International Business, Geography, or a foreign language. The program incorporates a foreign language component and a range of international experiences, including international study tours and an international relations internship. Outstanding students can also join the South Australian Parliamentary Internship.
The Bachelor of International Relations is an AQF Level 7 qualification with a standard full-time duration of 3 years.
