MA International Relations

Overview Explore the pressing issues, actors and power struggles in today’s globalised world - and get the skills and sector insight to start a career in international relations. On this course, you’ll examine the major players, organisations and global policies that underpin world politics and the global political economy. You’ll scrutinise their aims and explore their challenges. And you’ll learn how they impact states, societies and citizens - from a migrant crossing the Mediterranean to an official implementing the Chemical Weapons Convention.  You’ll also have the freedom to follow your interests. You might scrutinise the Paris Agreements. You might analyse the impacts of Fair Trade. Or you might examine social movements - like the Yellow Vests, the Flygskam movement, or the pro-democracy movement in Hong Kong. You’ll build skills directly relevant to careers in international relations. And you’ll travel to The Hague and Brussels, to get firsthand insight into international organisations like NATO and the European Commission. You can also study this course by distance learning.
