This internationally recognised degree programme will provide students with a solid grounding in the philosophical and practical aspects of international political analysis. This course introduces students to key concepts such as power, agency, the state, international society and order. Students can tailor this programme to their own interests by choosing from a wide range of modules offered by the school. Assessment for each taught module takes place at the end of each semester and is through a combination of coursework and/or exams, with some modules also requiring an assessed presentation. The MA International Relations will prepare students for a career in a wide range of fields, such as national government, international organisations, international trade, and non-governmental organisations. Our postgraduate courses provide a firm foundation for a wide range of careers. Many of our students take an active role in politics throughout their time in the school, and after. Politics is the ideal academic discipline to study if students are interested in a career in politics or government. Other students go into a range of careers, including management, marketing, teaching and broadcasting.
