Department of
International Politics
No 1 in the UK for International Politics
The Department of International Politics is the oldest of its kind in the world. It was founded in 1919 (in the immediate aftermath of World War I) in an attempt to help humanity better understand the reasons for war, conflict and suffering.The Department continues to be centrally concerned with the major questions in global politics: power, conflict, ethics, security and political participation. Widely recognized as the home of the discipline, the Department has evolved into the best centre for the study of international politics in the United Kingdom and its staff are committed to excellence in teaching and research to offer an outstanding and dynamic learning environment.
