International Studies

The Bachelor of Social Science (BSS) in International Studies is an interdisciplinary undergraduate programme that explores global politics, diplomacy, international relations, and cross-cultural dynamics. It equips students with critical understanding of global affairs, foreign policy, international law, and development issues. This subject combines political science, economics, history, and sociology to examine how nations interact and how global systems function. Students learn analytical and research skills essential for careers in government, international organisations, media, and academia. With a focus on contemporary global challenges, such as climate change, conflict, and migration—the BSS in International Studies prepares graduates to become informed global citizens and professionals.
