University of Essex Speciality : Politics
programme: International Relations and Global Affairs

My degree was in International Relations and it was very fulfilling for me. I choose the degree but I was indecisive. I had so many interests and International relations encompassed and aligned with these. It weaved philosophy, political science, political theory, sociology and history really well. My favourite modules were power and rhetoric, British political parties and political theories. The module taught me how to write well. To build arguments, to analyse complex ideas in a way that is creative, and has character but maintains an academic tone. All of my professors were very attentive and passionate. It’s why I got a first-class in my dissertation because my dissertation professor believes in my ideas and the paradigm I found.

I would recommend the course , because you learn about society, and the theoretical framework in which countries operate within and how this affects our lives.
