Embark on a transformative journey with the International Relations MA at De Montfort University, a postgraduate degree designed for those seeking to understand and shape our complex global landscape. You will delve into the intricacies of global political economy, development, and governance, critically examining how issues of inequality, such as racialised, gendered, and classed disparities, are embedded within international systems. This course is ideal for aspiring diplomats, policy analysts, and researchers who are driven to explore the dynamics of power, negotiation, and policy formation in an interconnected world, preparing you to engage with contemporary global challenges.
This full-time, on-campus Masters programme is structured over one year, immersing you in a research-led curriculum that moves beyond traditional international relations to address pressing global issues. You will engage with simulation exercises to hone your negotiation skills, conduct in-depth literature reviews, and apply theoretical frameworks to real-world case studies in areas like global transformations and development. Your studies culminate in an independent dissertation, where you will apply advanced research techniques to a topic of your choice. You will graduate with the analytical, research, and critical thinking skills essential for careers in international organisations, NGOs, government, and policy research.
