BA (Hons) Politics and International Relations with Foundation Year

University of Greenwich International College

Government, global affairs and how societies organise power are the subjects behind BA (Hons) Politics and International Relations with Foundation Year at the Greenwich campus in London. The foundation year marks it as a preparatory-plus-honours pathway rather than direct entry. Year Zero entry is five GCSEs at grades A*–C, assessed case by case. The university's published information does not include reading lists, fieldwork or module titles, so AF Education describes the course only from verified facts. Teaching is full-time weekday study for the January 2027 intake. Mature students moving toward policy, campaigning or public-facing work often shortlist this route. AF Education offers England-resident UK home students free help with the application and Student Finance England.
