Whether we know it or not, politics and international relations are personal to us all. Studying this course helped me to conceptualise the complex world we all live in. The diversity of economic, social, political, and environmental topics discussed on this course, from several perspectives, means there is something truly engaging for every unique student.— Elmina Zaria Lucretia Kwao, BA (Hons) International Relations, 2024
