The International Relations MA at Coventry University is designed for aspiring professionals and academics keen to analyse the complex dynamics of our interconnected world. You will explore critical issues such as globalisation, international law, diplomacy, and security, drawing on multidisciplinary theories from political science, history, and sociology. This postgraduate degree offers a robust academic framework for understanding contemporary global challenges, equipping you with the analytical tools necessary to interpret the actions of governmental, inter-governmental, and non-governmental organisations in tackling threats like terrorism, poverty, and human trafficking.
This Master of Arts degree is studied full-time on campus over one year, immersing you in a curriculum that balances theoretical knowledge with practical application. You will engage with modules covering critical thinking, applied international relations theory, and international human rights, culminating in a substantial dissertation in the Humanities and Social Science. Throughout your studies, you will have opportunities to connect with a network of professional contacts, including diplomats and specialists, and you will graduate prepared for careers in government, public administration, policy formation, and international research.
