Our International Relations MA will provide you with an advanced and comprehensive understanding of the forces shaping the world and the challenges they pose both to individual states and to the international community. It explores in depth a range of cutting-edge topics including, globalisation, ethics and human rights, the international political economy, war, global environmental crises, and security through the perspectives of politics and international relations, philosophy and social theory. You will be taught by some of the world's leading International Relations experts, who will help you develop the skills to undertake an extended research project on a topic of your choice.

Key benefits

Develop research skills of in-depth and critical analysis of international politics, and become familiar with the latest, cutting-edge research in the discipline alongside up to date knowledge of world events as they unfold, including the new dimensions of international relations arising as a result of the Covid19 pandemic, climate change, big data and artificial intelligence, or the rise of China.
A focus on conceptual, methodological, and analytical issues at the heart of International Relations will equip you with the analytical skills and in-depth knowledge required by a variety of professions.
You will learn to communicate effectively and fluently in speech and writing; organise information coherently; use communication and information technology for the retrieval and presentation of information. Transferable skills include working with others, e.g., to work cooperatively on group tasks; understand how groups function; collaborate with others; and contribute effectively to the achievement of common goals, and working independently, by demonstrating initiative, motivation, self-organisation, personal responsibility, decision-making, and effective time-management.
You will be taught by some of the very best academics in the field. Our academic staff publish world leading research and are committed to offering outstanding research-led teaching and training.
Be part of a vibrant research community, world-renowned staff and an international student body who are drawn from a wide variety of academic and professional backgrounds.
Unique opportunity to study in a multidisciplinary department devoted to the study of all aspects of war and conflict and the broad remit of international relations.
A chance to network and connect with visiting academics, government ministers, diplomats and other experts who are part of our War Studies community and give regular public lectures and seminars.
An opportunity to take advantage of our extensive and continually growing network of links with other departments, think-tanks, organisations, policymaking bodies and institutions both in the UK and abroad.
Graduates from this programme have gone on to careers in a variety of fields, including the UK government and security services, non-governmental organisations, the EU, NATO, the UN (and its many agencies), academia, think tanks, global charities, such as Oxfam, Greenpeace, and Amnesty International and multi-national corporations.
Our unrivalled location in the heart of London beside the river Thames brings outstanding advantages, including proximity to the Royal Courts of Justice, leading NGOs and research institutions, Westminster and London's legal quarter.
