Religions, Cultures and Civilisations in International Relations (957M1)

30 credits, Level 7 (Masters)

Spring teaching

Today, international society is going through major changes that challenge its traditional liberal and Western focus, leading to:

• changes in the international system
• a shift of economic power towards the East and BRICS countries.

There’s a change in ideology and a search for cultural authenticity often found in non-Western societies, shown through the growing influence of religion.

On this module, you’ll study these changes in cultures, religions and civilisations in politics since the end of the Cold War.

Contact hours and workload

This module is approximately 300 hours of work. This breaks down into about 24 hours of contact time and about 276 hours of independent study. The University may make minor variations to the contact hours for operational reasons, including timetabling requirements.

We regularly review our modules to incorporate student feedback, staff expertise, as well as the latest research and teaching methodology. We’re planning to run these modules in the academic year 2025/26. However, there may be changes to these modules in response to feedback, staff availability, student demand or updates to our curriculum.

We’ll make sure to let you know of any material changes to modules at the earliest opportunity.
