Overview

Establishing yourself in the field of international relations demands the ability to think, speak, and write critically about international issues, including topics such as:

How has globalisation changed international relations?
To what extent is the international order based on conflict or cooperation?
How is the global financial crisis affecting international politics?
Do foreign military interventions in civil wars help or hinder peace-making?
Why are economic resources so unevenly spread across the world, and what are the prospects for global justice?
With this online, part-time Master’s programme, you can look forward to developing the theoretical understanding and analytical skills needed to navigate these with confidence and consideration.

The course offers challenging and thought-provoking modules to help you formulate your answers, and a lively, intelligent group of students and academics with which to debate and exchange ideas.

You will gain the ability to listen to or read complicated material and pick out the core arguments quickly. You will also learn how to communicate your ideas and arguments effectively, both verbally and in writing. These are skills many employers value.
