International Relations
Information about the degree program
Study International Relations in Germany, completely in English. In this Bachelor degree programme, you will gain knowledge and skills in the fields of international politics, international economic relations, and international law in an interdisciplinary and international setting. As graduates, you will be able to analyse questions and problems of international relations from different perspectives and develop application-oriented solutions.
Understand the politics of today's world
The Bachelor programme International Relations examines political dimensions of globalisation and European integration, internationalisation strategies of companies and non-governmental organizations. We analyse various phenomena which transcend boundaries in today’s world: commerce and climate change, values and political ideas, rights and regulations. IR-students organise events and simulations which connect the lecture hall with real-world experiences, such as KleMUN (Kleve Model United Nations) or KleMAU (Kleve Model African Union). These student-driven activities shape our campus life.
Application-oriented and international
Develop your professional skill set in our modern laboratory landscape, numerous projects and interactively designed courses. Test your career ambitions during the internship semester in a political organisation, a company, or in the non-profit sector. The high proportion of students from around the world and the opportunity of a semester abroad at a partner university will provide you with first-hand international experiences.
Special Projects: Kleve Model United Nations (KleMUN)

"Another advantage of this university is the personal contact between professors and students. While many universities work in a very anonymous way, in Rhine-Waal one can always find helpful and individualized support. The correct contact person is always available."
