Course summary

Why choose this course

International relations is an inescapable subject. Politics, economics and law interconnect on a global scale, affecting individuals and organisations at all levels of society.

On our International Relations MSc, you will study how politics is shaped internationally, while developing the research and analytical skills to support your future career.

You’ll master international relations theories and political science methods that will enable you to investigate the links between local, national and international politics, and engage in issues that shape the world today.

What you will study

Our International Relations MSc programme examines the most salient issues in contemporary international politics in a course that you can tailor according to your interests.

A small set of compulsory modules provide the theoretical and methodological grounding needed to conduct political science research, while a wide range of optional modules focus on specific areas. These include:

International security
Economy and trade
Global governance.

Our innovative teaching methods connect theory with the practice of international politics, including trade negotiation simulations as well as the opportunity to experience real-time crisis diplomacy at Chatham House’s Simulation Centre.

Students employ research and analytical skills developed during the course to design and carry out an independent dissertation research project, with individual supervision from our academic experts.

Careers and graduate prospects

We offer careers information, advice and guidance to all students whilst studying with us, which is extended to our alumni for three years after leaving the University.

Whatever your plans, our MSc in International Relations is a great stepping stone in your career development.
