We are all connected! As the world globalises and nations and economies become more integrated, it is vital to understand our world and the ideas, cultures and beliefs of our international neighbours and trading partners. By studying in the field of International Studies at Emeris you will be acquiring the skills needed to compete in the international marketplace of products, ideas and knowledge.
Rooted in the International Studies and Politics core discipline as part of the IIE Bachelor of Social Science degree in the Faculty of Humanities at Emeris, International Studies is its own interdisciplinary area of study that brings together aspects of politics, international relations, philosophy, history, development issues, globalisation, and migration studies.
The International Studies discipline recognises Africa’s unique contribution to globalisation and the challenges faced as international integration becomes a global norm. In choosing this discipline, you will be equipped with the knowledge you need to understand the world in which you live, as well as to define your place within it. Essentially, International Studies brings to life the issues and events that have shaped and continue to shape the world.
Following this three-year degree, the IIE Bachelor of Social Science Honours with a specialisation in International Studies is also offered at Emeris, as well as a research IIE Master of Philosophy in Arts on completion of your Honours degree.
