International Relations - MA

University of Kent

Build the skills to take on global challenges in the 21st century. From great power politics to deep seated conflicts, on climate change as much as terrorism and cyber security, we will equip you with the knowledge to interpret events, identify trends and make informed judgments about what the future holds. Stand in the shoes of the diplomat, the foreign policy maker, the political analyst, and learn how to engage international politics with insight and clarity. Explore real world issues and key policy areas and learn from leading experts who advise governments and shape debates. Innovative teaching practices like simulations, interactive seminars, and flipped classrooms, will develop your capacity for independent thinking and incisive analysis. Our alumni, who form an international network, have used this programme as a springboard into foreign offices and diplomatic services, the UN, EU and OECD, the IRC, Amnesty International and other NGOs, as well as businesses with an international outlook.
