The International Relations BA program at Webster Leiden is designed to prepare students for leadership and service in the international community. Students examine the great political powers, humanitarian issues, and the dynamics of the global community using contemporary American and European approaches.

Through our program, you are given the opportunity to explore, critique and understand the social, political and economic interactions of our contemporary globalized world.

Webster’s undergraduate programs follow the Liberal Arts system, which is designed to provide students with a well-rounded education and a broad background for their future career.
