Why study Politics, Security and International Relations at YHANK?
In a world marked by global crises, shifting power dynamics, and technological revolutions, understanding how politics and international systems work is more important than ever. This programme goes beyond traditional Political Science: it combines political theory, international relations, digital transformation, and security studies into one comprehensive and forward-thinking degree.
Studying Politics and International Relations today means equipping yourself to navigate and shape global change. It means learning to decode the forces that govern diplomacy, cooperation, conflict, sustainability, and international law—while also understanding how emerging technologies like cybersecurity and big data are transforming these very dynamics.
At YHANK, we train students to become critical thinkers and strategic actors on the global stage. Our curriculum is designed with real-world impact in mind, integrating policy analysis, social psychology, economics, and security studies with practical tools for leadership, negotiation, and international cooperation.
You will study topics such as digital diplomacy, international security, economic policy, and empirical research, supported by a teaching approach that emphasizes dialogue, case studies, simulations, and project-based learning. You will learn how to assess complex scenarios, communicate with clarity, and make informed decisions in high-stakes environments.
Whether you aspire to work for international organisations, become a policy advisor, contribute to sustainable development, or continue your studies in diplomacy or global affairs, this degree will provide the knowledge, skills, and perspective to make a difference where it truly matters.
