Course summary

Study the International Relations MSc course at Aston University – a leading centre for research on politics and international relations – to give you a head start in your future career. The programme offers opportunities to specialise in the areas of ''Conflict and Cooperation'' and ''Development and Governance''. Students will also have the option to complete Aston Global Advantage – our professional development programme. The MSc offers thematic modules that are applied to different regions of the world. You will also be given the opportunity to focus on different aspects of international relations and international politics. If you decide to follow the ''Conflict and Cooperation'' pathway, you will concentrate on the international/global arena, relations among states and transnational actors. If you choose the second pathway, ''Development and Governance'', you will work more on domestic issues – particularly economic development, institutional reforms and governance – in a context of increasing global interdependence. You can also complete a general MSc International Relations combining both perspectives.
