About the Department

The Department of International Relations at Sussex, formed in 1961, has a staff of 21 academics.

Each year about 130 IR students gain BA degrees, either as a single honours IR degree or joint with other subjects. We have over 30 DPhil students in IR, and our Masters programmes are rapidly expanding with the introduction of exciting new MA degrees in the field of International Security, Security, Conflict and Development, and Geopolitics and Grand Strategy.
