The Bachelor's degree  in International Relations - Territorial Studies has traditionally been very popular with applicants - it is the programme with the highest number of applicants at the Faculty of Arts. By completing the International Relations - Territorial Studies programme you will gain an excellent orientation in the field of international relations with a territorial focus of your choice on either the Anglo-American region or Europe. Parttaking in compulsory courses, students are introduced to the field of international relations, research topics, basic theories, methods and individual subfields such as conflict resolution, foreign policy analysis, international organizations, etc. They are also introduced to several practically oriented courses (media, political economy, public administration, internship with a potential employer) with a close link to the employability of graduates in the labour market. The second component of the degree is an optional specialisation in Territorial Studies, namely a group of courses in British and American Studies or European Studies. Both blocks include courses on regional politics (or the political systems of the countries of the region) and courses in territorial studies (regional organisation and cooperation, historical formation of the region). Graduates will acquire excellent linguistic competence in the language of their chosen specialisation (English, Russian, French or German).
