International Affairs is a three-year bachelor’s programme taught entirely in English, located at University West, Sweden. Students and staff come from across the globe, which gives the programme a truly international, multicultural study environment.
The programme has an international focus, introducing students to current global debates such as inequality, identity politics, decoloniality, climate crisis, democratic erosion, technological development, and digitalisation. International Affairs aims to highlight the local and national, as well as the regional and global scope of contemporary socio-political challenges. The students learn how to identify, analyse, and evaluate such challenges carefully and fairly, using appropriate scientific methods. The programme trains critically reflexive and engaged citizens and professionals.
