Course summary
This exciting new, two-year Masters degree offers you the opportunity to experience living and studying in two very different but complementary cultural and academic worlds on opposite sides of the globe. MA International Politics is hosted by two departments with enviable reputations for the quality of their teaching and research in the field of international politics: the Department of International Politics at Aberystwyth University and the School of International Service at American University in Washington, D.C. On successful completion of your degree you will have the opportunity to apply for internships with government or non-governmental organisations in Washington, D.C. under the Optional Practical Training Scheme.
Overview
You will spend your first year in Aberystwyth where you will take advantage of the Department’s distinctly normative and critical perspectives on the discipline. You will explore concepts that typically comprise the bedrock of the study of International Relations (such as sovereignty, anarchy, and security) and subject those concepts to rich and multi-layered interrogation from perspectives that unsettle conventional understandings of international relationships and how they function.
During your second year in Washington, D.C., you will connect your studies with practical experience and interaction with the policy community, which American University’s School of International Service is uniquely positioned to provide.
The MA International Politics (Dual Degree with American University) is available as a Specialist pathway degree. You will have the advantages of combining advanced, subject specific study in Aberystwyth with core modules in Social Science research methodology and Economics, alongside option modules from your chosen field of specialisation, taken at American University.
