Geography and International Relations

About this programme

In Geography we try to answer some of the biggest questions of life, such as how our planet originated and how we interact with it. This compliments International Relations topics such as European Politics, Human Rights Development, and International Economy. Geography is the study of the Earth's surface with emphasis on the relationship between people and their environment. It covers elements of natural sciences, social sciences and humanities. International Relations looks at a diverse range of areas such as Energy Politics, European Integration, Human Rights, International Economy and regional International Relations of Japan, Latin America and the Middle East. You can also take advantage of unique options made possible by the research pedigree of our academic team with a strong track record in publishing international papers and articles. A degree in International Relations from the University of Aberdeen opens doors to a wide range of professions, including many politics-related roles.

We work closely with employers in developing our programme and our graduates acquire essential skills to prepare them for challenging professional roles.
