Politics and International Relations ProgramUndergraduate StudiesHow can I study Politics and International Relations?Politics is currently available to students at Albury-Wodonga, Bendigo, Melbourne (Bundoora) and Mildura campuses. Politics and International Relations units are available to students enrolled in any Faculty. The number of units that may be taken depends on the rules of the degree for which a student is enrolled. The Bachelor of International Relations degree (available only at Bundoora campus) is administered and coordinated by the program. The degree is a widely respected inter-disciplinary program which provides an intellectually demanding course of study of the economic, legal, political and strategic features of the contemporary international system. It provides students with appropriate university preparation for careers in government, business, media, non-governmental organizations and international organizations. As a core component of the course, students spend a semester in a professional placement. This provides an unparalleled opportunity to develop professional networks, utilize their skills and to advance their career prospects. Students who wish to satisfy the degree requirements by taking a major in politics must take 130 credit points of politics, of which at least 60 credit points must be at third-year level. Potential honours students must include POL3POK Politics of Knowledge and/or POL3HON Politics of the Twentieth Century and must have passed 130 credit points of politics or other appropriate units. Potential honours students are also strongly encouraged to take POL2HMP/POL3HMP History of Modern Political Thought. All units are offered subject to the availability of appropriate staffing and minimum enrolments.
