The content of our courses is reviewed annually to make sure it's up-to-date and relevant. Individual modules are occasionally updated or withdrawn. This is in response to discoveries through our world-leading research; funding changes; professional accreditation requirements; student or employer feedback; outcomes of reviews; and variations in staff or student numbers. In the event of any change we'll consult and inform students in good time and take reasonable steps to minimise disruption. We are no longer offering unrestricted module choice. If your course included unrestricted modules, your department will provide a list of modules from their own and other subject areas that you can choose from.

You’ll need a good first degree in any subject. You would normally be expected to have a 2:1 from a university in the UK, or an equivalent qualification from an institution overseas. Applicants with other qualifications combined with relevant professional experience may also be eligible.
 

Entry requirements for international students
 

Overall IELTS score of 6.5 with a minimum of 6.0 in each component, or equivalent.

• Home ( annual fee) : £10,300
   
• Overseas ( annual fee) : £20,950
   

The fee listed is for the advertised mode of study. If you're studying for an alternative qualification or via a different mode of study (eg full-time, part-time) then the fee could be different. Due to inflation, the fee for Home students could also increase after your first year of study.

Knowledge and understanding of the politics, economic, societal and cultural factors shaping international politics in East Asia are highly valuable for careers within international relations and global policy specialising in East Asia and the Pacific region. The broad conceptual training you'll receive will also prepare you for further studies at doctoral level in the fields of East Asia and Politics.
