IntroductionThe BA in International Relations and Security Studies is located within the Division of Peace Studies, an internationally recognised centre for excellence in teaching and research on peace and conflict issues. Our staff are accomplished scholars; and many also deploy their research

skills in a range of issues in many parts of the world. Our international reputation received formal confirmation in 2002, when Peace Studies was chosen from more than 100 universities worldwide to be one of six Rotary International Peace Centres. International relations is the study of the principles, interests, strategies and mechanisms that inform why and how states engage with one another. States are responsible for much of the order in our world, but also for much of its violent conflict; war and the threat of war. A detailed understanding of the international system could hardly be more fundamental to thinking about the human prospect in the twenty first century. At the same time, our world is intensely globalised, so International Relations also involves study and analysis of the relations that states have with non-state actors such as international, transnational and civil society groups and organisations. The security of states and the international system matter a very great deal, but so too does human security. After all, although the ideal enshrined in the Charter of the United Nations is ‘International peace and security,’ that document begins with the words, ‘We the peoples.’ So the second component of this programme; security studies, investigates the wider sphere of human relations and activities as they relate to national and international security. For this purpose, we engage with political, military, criminal, environmental and economic threats to peace and development. As you progress through the programme, you will acquire a systematic understanding of the structures, actors and dynamics that lie beneath the complexities and turbulence of twenty first century life. This will require you to bring your own appreciation of current events to bear on your studies; to study unfamiliar concepts, topics and events; to critically engage with perspectives and judgments that conflict with your own; and to widen your intellectual horizons. Our students are typically animated by intellectual curiosity and a desire to make the world a little better (or to prevent it worsening in one way or another.)If you recognize yourself in that depiction, we welcome your application.The BA in International Relations and Security Studies programme not only provides training in the discipline of International Relations, but also allows you to undertake modules in other disciplines and subject areas, including Politics, Peace Studies, History and Philosophy. The focus and content of our programme is embedded in the distinct approach of Peace Studies, which is the view that while conflict and difference are natural, violence and war is not. In the first year you will pursue a set of modules that introduce you both to your own field of study and these related disciplines. This enriches the study of international relations and security while embedding you in the multidisciplinary approach of Peace Studies at the University of Bradford. In addition to module options within Peace Studies, you are also able to choose electives from the wider span of University offerings. So while the

programme provides a solid grounding in international political theory and international political analysis, we also enable flexibility, allowing some individual and specialised focus while maintaining the overall coherence of the programme. During your BA in International Relations and Security Studies programme you will also have the opportunity to work toward a four year International Diploma that includes a year abroad, or undertake a portion of your undergraduate programmes overseas through Erasmus partnerships with the Universities of Brussels, Coimbra, Toulouse, Salamanca, Prague and Munich; and exchange programmes with the California State University (USA), Clarkson University (USA), Sogang University (Seoul, Korea), Hosei University (Tokyo, Japan) and Slippery Rock University (USA).

CurriculumStage 1 [Level 4]Stage 1 is designed to provide you with a solid intellectual foundation for both components of the programme; ‘international relations’ and ‘security studies’. In order for you to acquire the fundamentals of the discipline and to ensure that you possess the requisite skills, all of the Year 1 modules are ‘core’, that is, there are no options available in the first year. However, your first two semesters contain no shortage of variety; and we expect you to find it challenging as well as stimulating, since you will need to get to grips with key concepts and theoretical debates as they pertain to both international relations and security studies.By the end of your first year, you will be able to engage with the international relations literature, to enter fully into debates and produce written assignments of scholarly character, and have a solid understanding of the international system in preparation for an in-depth introduction to security studies.

Students who have achieved at least 120 credit points at Level 5 may exit the programme and are eligible for the award of Diploma of Higher Education.

Stage 3 [Level 6]Your final stage is shaped by two endeavours that complete your intellectual accomplishment and prepare you for professional life. Your BA dissertation is a 15,000 word research project on a topic of your own choosing, which will draw on the knowledge and skills you have developed in Stages 1 and 2. You will be expected to show initiative, demonstrate a sceptical, questioning perspective, secure the requisite research materials, conceive a workable research question and outline structure and adopt an appropriate methodology. You will have a dissertation supervisor who will advise you on producing scholarship to a professional level. In addition to the dissertation project, your final stage will also include one further core module and two optional modules.

The curriculum may change, subject to the University's programme approval, monitoring and review procedures.
