International relations is a dynamic, multi-disciplinary field that investigates the social, economic and environmental relationships between different political bodies.

This double degree major explores contemporary global issues through political theory, international relations theory, foreign policy, strategic studies and political history.

You’ll study the art of diplomacy and policymaking, geopolitical change, and national and regional security in military, political and geo-economic contexts.

Political and regional globalisation are explored in-depth, with an emphasis on the Asia Pacific. International trade, environmental change, resource management and human rights issues are also examined.

You’ll develop skills in critical analysis, problem-solving and written and oral communications – skills that underpin influential careers in international relations.

As a Curtin student you could also participate in an international study tour to Timor Leste.
