International Relations is a three-year, full-time bachelor's programme taught in English at Lazarski University in Warsaw and run as a double degree with the University of Westminster. It suits you if you follow world politics and diplomacy and want to build a career in an international setting.
The programme combines academic training with British educational standards. Classes are interactive and built around discussion, and you work through case studies, policy simulations and projects led by experts. Assessment includes debates, presentations, policy briefs and group work, so you practise the skills the profession expects.
The core covers the theory and analysis of international relations, foreign policy and international security, and international governance and diplomacy. You also study the institutions and long-term trends that shaped the Western world, together with economics, political philosophy, European integration, international law and international political economy. Each year you choose electives, for example conflict resolution strategies, international economic relations, global humanitarian issues or regional politics in Asia, Africa or Latin America, and in the final year you write a bachelor's thesis.
Beyond lectures you can:
The whole programme is taught in English, so you build your analytical and communication skills in the language of international work, and you can add French or German as a language elective.
You graduate with diplomas from both Lazarski and the University of Westminster, and the University of Westminster supports your progress through pre- and post-moderation of your academic work. The programme offers international exchanges and joint research projects, so your studies in Warsaw can reach well beyond a single campus. Two internationally recognised degrees give you a clear advantage when you apply for roles abroad.
