Deepen your understanding of the causes and consequences of some of the biggest global societal challenges.

This course allows you to explore key challenges that span global borders and communities and how to develop sustainable solutions to them.

You’ll examine the politics and policymaking of global powers, paying close attention to how their decisions and interactions impact the management and maintenance of political order.

This will deepen your understanding of the causes and consequences of major political issues, and equip you with the knowledge needed to address them effectively in a range of contexts.

Upon successful completion of this course, you’ll have gained:

  • in-depth knowledge of how foreign policy impacts global diplomacy, and economic and policymaking structures
  • a comprehensive understanding of strategies that address the political and policy implications of foreign policy
  • the ability to engage with communities and policymakers through effective advocacy
  • a fundamental understanding of topics, such as global security and cybersecurity threats; changes of leadership and the emergence of new powers; and the evolving nature of international politics
  • advanced research, analytical, and communication skills suitable for many roles in politics and policymaking, consulting, and policy advocacy

Pick a pathway, specialise your knowledge

You can choose our standalone MSc International Relations degree, or one of four specialist pathways.

Each specialist pathway allows you to complement your core international relations learning with units that focus on applying it to key topics and issues in your chosen area. The standalone MSc International Relations degree gives you the freedom to select specialist units from any available pathway and build a more holistic degree.

You can change the pathway you study on this course. If you're considering switching, we recommend speaking with your Director of Studies. Transfer between the pathways is possible until the end of Semester 1, or within the first three weeks of Semester 1 if transferring to the MSc in International Relations with European Politics. Please note that changing pathways is subject to approval by the course's Director of Studies, visa requirements (if applicable), and meeting the requirements for the pathway you intend to change to.

Choose a consultancy project

The consultancy project is an alternative to a dissertation. It’s your chance to work on a project with an external organisation, using the skills and knowledge you’ll gain during your studies.

Working alone or as part of a group, you’ll conduct appropriate research, analyse data (if necessary) and share your solution as a written report and presentation.

You will benefit from our well-established business connections across the field of international relations and related sectors, both in the UK and overseas.

Consultancy project numbers are limited each year. You’ll apply for a suitable project with one of our external partners and will receive support from us during this process. If a suitable project can’t be secured, you will complete a dissertation instead.

Their passion, expertise, and research directly inform their teaching, enriching your learning experience.

Recognition of professional qualifications

As well as being recognised as a higher academic qualification, a number of our degrees are also accredited by professional bodies in the United Kingdom. An accredited degree may entitle you to work in a specific profession within the UK, and abroad (where there are reciprocating arrangements with professional bodies in other countries).

The requirements to practise a profession vary from country to country. If you wish to practise your profession outside the United Kingdom, you are advised to confirm that the UK professional qualification you seek is valid in the country in which you are intending to work.
