Course summary

On our MA International Relations, our priority is ensuring that you graduate with a professional skillset. This incorporates;

  • Balancing traditional international relations theory, case studies, and literature alongside a critical approach which explores and deconstructs the complex relationships between power, conflict, identity, and globalisation.
  • Providing the link between theory and practice through experiential learning and the application of global case studies.
  • Exploring the breadth of challenges relevant to the field of international relations today, using perspectives from criminology, sociology, and human rights.

These three strands will ensure that you understand both the problems and solutions we face as an international community in both theory and practice.

How you'll learn

This well-rounded programme will be delivered through a combination of lectures, seminars and workshops, to ensure that equal weighting is given to theoretical expertise, interactive explorations of the application of theory in practice. Students will benefit from experiential learning using in-class case studies, simulations, and field trips and assessment will be through diverse forms of coursework (e.g. problem-based essays, presentations, podcasts, reflective journals, research proposals).

Career options

A key reason for the balanced approach between the theoretical and practical in this programme is a focus on employability. You will be regularly assessed on practical applications of international relations through presentations, participation in simulations, drafting policy documents, and other diverse forms of experiential learning and coursework.

In addition, extra-curricular activities and opportunity for placement work will provide transferable skills and workplace contacts necessary to compete and succeed in jobs in: charities, policy think tanks, multilateral and intergovernmental organisations such as the UN and UNICEF, international businesses, law firms, banks, local and national government, media companies, as well as non-governmental organisations.
