The International Relations MA offers you an innovative, disciplined and intellectually challenging framework for studying issues and perspectives within international relations.

You'll consider various aspects of international order and politics, including the dynamics of international social and political power relationships and conflicts, and state building. These topics are studied comparatively in relation to governmental, political and social processes, and in the contexts of various historical continuities, discontinuities and contrasts.

Careers

Employability

We run a series of events throughout the year with a focus on employability. In the past, these have included talks on internships, volunteering and post-MA career choices.

We also offer a free 'Policy Skills Lab' course where you can engage with experts on interview techniques and drafting your CV. Course topics include 'Learning Policy Advice' and 'Policy Jobs in International Affairs'.

In previous years, we've organised an annual trip to Brussels to meet with representatives from the EU, NATO and other international organisations as well as a number of international non-governmental organisations. This has been an opportunity for our students to understand how these organisations work and talk about their career prospects.
