As a Politics and International Relations student at ARU, you'll graduate with a degree that will equip you for a career working for a political party, in diplomacy and other parts of the civil service for international organisations, or in other jobs as varied as hedge fund trader or teacher.  Lectures, seminars and classroom time are a vital part of our BA Politics and International Relations degree, but you will have the opportunity to broaden your horizons. In your time at ARU, you could access the original documents of figures such as Margaret Thatcher and Winston Churchill (held in the city of Cambridge where you’ll be taught) and see how they handled the big international and political crises of their day. You could hear leading politicians speak at the Cambridge Union or at the various political clubs across the city. You could access the latest journal articles and books in libraries across town to give you up to date insights into today’s politics. And you would have the option to study a language or undertake a work placement as part of your course, to further equip you with skills, knowledge and experience to prepare you for your graduate future.
