Communication is the power to inform, persuade and bring people together to enact change. Whether verbal, non-verbal or written, communication is key to your success in university and future career. This module will enable you to improve your own communication and to evaluate the way communication works to convey ideas. Taking an active approach, you will work through complex stories and messages, finding new ways to communicate simply, clearly and effectively. You will practice observation, understand and evaluate context, and learn to empathise with your audience to craft persuasive and professional outputs.

In a business environment, creativity is most often defined as the ability to imagine the unique ideas whilst innovation is defined as the process that transforms the creative ideas into real commercial product or services. Starting from this point of view, this module will help you to critically evaluate how creativity contributes to successful entrepreneurship practice. Today’s organisations are aware of the importance of entrepreneurial and managerial creativity as a desired behaviour in identifying opportunities that lead to entrepreneurial success. In this module, you will have the opportunity to understand the role of managerial creativity for growth and wellbeing of organisations and in society. You will cover topics such as innovative organisations; entrepreneurial creativity and decision making; transformational leadership; creative behaviour; employee innovation; and engaging with the creative process in the workplace. |

Data are all around us and play a crucial role in decision-making at all levels and sectors. The analysis and visualisation of data is a key skill in today’s job markets. It is not only the foundation of efficient organisations, but a means unlocking critical insights to inform present and the future operations.

By considering the global distribution of wealth, you will examine the factors that have historically led countries or regions out of poverty and reflect on how those factors apply today, including the politics and economics of natural resource conflicts, such as energy, food, and water. These areas – economic development and natural resource conflicts and constraints – lead logically to consideration of global environmental concerns such as famine, pandemics, pollution and climate change. This module will utilise real-world examples and computer simulations, supported by relevant concepts and theories. |
| Global Politics: Contest for Supremacy | The extent of globalisation requires an exploration of international politics to develop an understanding of current issues such as war, diplomacy, justice, and sustainability. This module will examine contemporary nations, regimes and the global contest for supremacy, exploring solutions to critical questions to evaluate a range of models for the international order the nation and the state. You will develop an interdisciplinary understanding of global politics, through examining case studies from global history. By critically engaging with a range of perspectives, you will gain experience presenting a convincing argument, utilising contemporary history and relevant theoretical approaches. |
| Critical Thinking in International Relations | In international relations, issues such as genocide, human trafficking, climate change or poverty are crucial factors. As social scientists, how we define significant actors influences how they are described in international law, policy making, and political campaigning. This module will explore primary social science perspectives and understand various ways of looking at the world. You will learn about the building blocks of theoretical perspectives and critically engage with some real-world examples, applying a variety of approaches and political lenses.

| Globalisation and the City |
We live in an increasingly urban world that has been shaped by complex spatial transformations derived from the forces of contemporary globalisation. This module looks at global cities as key agents of transnationalism and political economy. It uses London as an example of global opportunities and challenges: prosperity vs poverty, diversity vs inequality, innovation vs tradition, security vs uncertainty, networking vs loneliness, and urban vs green spaces – among other examples. We will explore these topics through interdisciplinary reflection and research – utilising critical and normative/ethical approaches to the study of globalisation and international relations. Experiential learning will use London as a dynamic space of study beyond the traditional classroom through visits to the city’s museums, urban spaces, and galleries. Deploying a range of research methods will help us ask the right questions to pose feasible and legitimate practical solutions to contemporary global issues. |
| History of the Present | The history and the origins of the modern state system have a central role in the way we understand today’s world. This module explores continuity and change in international relations and focuses on the historical study of themes central to contemporary debates on economic and political issues, as well as on traditional security and new global challenges. We will examine how the First and Second World Wars transformed international politics and consider the lasting effect of the Cold War and decolonisation on international relations. This module will provide you the theoretical foundation of international relations, and will develop an understanding of a range of perspectives, including realism, liberalism, constructivism, feminism, postcolonialism and post-structuralism. |
| Security in an Uncertain World |
In a contemporary context where uncertainty has become a normal aspect of everyday life, security seems to be everywhere, including international and national security, economic security, information security, environmental security, food security and gender-based security. This module will interrogate perceived contemporary security issues, asking critical questions about how security is understood, deployed, and studied: what make us feel 'secure’? Who are the actors and institutions of security and insecurity? How do these shape us as citizens and human beings? How does security play out in Europe – for example, in war-torn Ukraine? Finally, what happens when we see security beyond state-centric international relations? This module will explore a selection of frameworks in which securitisation is made theoretically and intellectually intelligible. Through a range of research methods and analytical tools we will enhance our understanding of policy responses developing critical perspectives that go beyond the standard explanations of political practice. |

| International Relations | |
|---|---|
| Money and Power |
Our international environment is shaped by the interplay of economic, political, technological and cultural forces rippling through the world. Some converge and some collide, creating ever new challenges and opportunities for policymakers and active citizens to promote their own visions and solutions. This module will explore institutions such as the International Monetary Fund, World Trade Organization and the World Bank, and consider some real-world case studies, such as China’s accession to the WTO, the 2008 financial crisis, India and vaccines or the Greek bankruptcy. We will critically reflect on the role of the media in global politics and examine how this affects the distribution of wealth, politics and society. In-class discussions, research and experiential learning, will develop a systemic understanding of the shifting global economic ecology. By exploring the intricate links between different processes and critically assessing policy alternatives, we will design solutions for contemporary challenges at both a global and local level. |
| Diplomacy and Conflict Resolution |
Conflicts are challenging and intractable – but diplomacy is a way to help resolve them. This module will reflect on a range of historical and regional experiences – from traditional China to the aristocratic way of taming the conflict of the imperialist European system of states, to the partial attempts to democratise diplomacy in the late twentieth century. It introduces you to the phases and techniques of negotiations, including the role of mediators, international organisations and citizens. This will be applied to propose solutions to the recurrent problems in the Middle East, which involve significant issues of power; resources, both scarce (water) and abundant (oil); environment; statehood; terrorism; gender and culture. The module will include simulations and the attendance of external speakers. Other regions (including South and East Asia) will be discussed as well. |
| Major Project l |
The Major Project is the culmination of your studies. You will study Major Project I in the first term of your final year and Major Project II in the second. Each module comprises 20 credits. Together, the two modules form one project. The Major Project is a substantial piece of work, drawing on your discipline-specific and interdisciplinary learning, together with your learning about industry and entrepreneurship. You will have the freedom to design a self-directed project that reflects your interests and career aspirations. You may also choose to relate your Major Project to work you’re completing on your other final year modules. In Major Project I, you will start the term developing a proposal for your Major Project, supported by your tutors. Following your proposal, you will begin work on your Major Project, learning through individual or group supervision, workshops or studio practice, as appropriate to your project. |
| Major Project II |
Major Project II is the second Major Project module in your final year. Following the research and development you undertook in Major Project I, you will realise and complete your work in Major Project ll. The Major Project is your opportunity to apply your discipline-specific and interdisciplinary learning, together with your learning around industry and/or entrepreneurship to a topic of your choice. Through the Major Project, you can realise your ambitions as you prepare to graduate with work that illustrates your aspirations. You will learn through individual or group supervisions, workshops or studio practice, as appropriate to your project. You may also choose to relate your Major Project to the work you’re completing on your other final year modules. If you are working on an entrepreneurial project for your Major Project, you may be able to join the Founders Programme, which supports students and graduates interested in starting their own business with tailored guidance, coaching, mentoring, and access to experiential bootcamps and live events. |
