Bachelor in International Relations

International Relations examines the political, economic, and social interactions between states, international organizations, and other global actors. Coursework typically includes international politics, foreign policy analysis, international law, diplomacy, and global political economy, with many programs also covering regional studies and security studies. Students develop analytical and research skills applied to global events, treaties, and institutions, often through coursework requiring critical reading of policy documents and academic literature on international affairs. Graduates pursue careers in diplomacy, international organizations, government agencies, non-governmental organizations, journalism, and international business, and the degree also serves as preparation for graduate study in political science, international affairs, or law. This bachelor program runs for 4 years and is taught in English at Atılım University in Ankara, Turkey. Ankara, as the seat of Turkey's government and home to numerous embassies and international organizations, offers a directly relevant setting for the study of international relations. English-medium instruction is intended to prepare graduates for careers in international and diplomatic settings.
