About politics and international relations

ACU Politics and international relations students working on their laptops

We've been recognised for excellence in a number of subjects including arts and humanities and social sciences.1 When you study politics and international relations at ACU you'll develop the tools to think critically and engage with issues such as power, violence, democracy, terrorism and justice and understand their effects. From everyday local politics to the power struggles of great nations, you’ll enjoy a deeper understanding of the current political climate, explore historical events that have led to today and learn the ideology behind political movements from across the globe. In the process, you'll kickstart career opportunities for future roles in government, foreign relations or advocacy.
