Features
• Our School of International Relations is the only one of its kind in Scotland and one of the few that exists in the UK.
• Our School has an established reputation throughout the world for its high quality teaching and research (see page 5).
• We have specialist areas in international security, peace and conflict studies, terrorism studies, international institutions, international theory and regional studies including the Middle East, Southern Africa, Central and East Asia.
Our lives are all affected by international relations and by the behaviour of people, governments and organisations elsewhere in the world. A university course in International Relations will interest students who are concerned with such fundamental questions as the causes of war and creation of peace, the rise and fall of great powers, the roles of international law and co-operative institutions such as the UN, European Union and World Bank, the challenges of international terrorism, the alleviation of poverty, environmental degradation and human rights abuses, and the nature and consequences of globalisation. The study of International Relations is theoretically challenging whilst having a very practical purpose. How should we understand the world and how should we act in it? International Relations is a subject that opens the way to many possible careers. Although not generally a school subject, some of the issues explored when pursuing a degree in International Relations are raised in Higher, A-Level and other courses particularly in Modern Studies, Politics, History and Geography.

St Andrews has the only School of International Relations in Scotland and one of the few in the UK (International Relations is usually incorporated in Schools of Politics elsewhere). It is also one of the few universities in the UK that offers a Single Honours degree in the subject. The School is of a size that allows us to teach the common core of our discipline whilst offering substantial choice and specialisation in the Honours programme, thus addressing the interests of a wide range of students. Although it is a large and diverse School, we strive to offer the student the small size of tutorial group and attention of staff which are so much part of the St Andrews tradition. Our courses are taught by some of the world’s leading experts in their fields.
St Andrews has an enviable reputation for the quality and variety of students enrolling in its courses. International Relations attracts students from many countries and backgrounds. We require students to have very high academic qualifications, a firm and clearly elaborated interest in International Relations, broad intellectual interests in related areas (such as history, politics, moral philosophy and modern languages), and an enthusiasm for critical engagement with ideas old and new. The School is located in the historic heart of the town in a building opened in 2006.
