MA en ligne en Relations Internationales

This programme can be studied part-time as MA, Postgraduate Diploma (PGDip) or Postgraduate Certificate (PGCert). The PGDip and PGCert are shorter taught versions of the master's programme. They don’t require a dissertation but provide you with masters-level content.

Why study International Relations?

• What are the main characteristics of the international order?
• 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?

If you are interested in these questions and are excited at the prospect of exploring them with like-minded individuals, but your circumstances or commitments make it difficult for you to attend university, then our online International Relations MA is for you.

The programme 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.
