Master of Science - International Relations

The course will provide students with a comprehensive understanding of the forces shaping global politics and state and inter-state relations. It will also give students an appreciation of the context of international relations in terms of global inequalities, power and environmental risks. 

UEL's students come from all over the world, so students will be working in an international environment. The course will equip them with the skills and knowledge they need for a career working in a global body, government department or organisation dealing with international policy. 

Students will also be encouraged to improve their research skills and learn how to take an active part in international and academic conferences and debates.

This course offers a unique combination of critical thinking in relation to international relations and the study of global environmental politics. UEL is the first university to offer this special focus on the environment, which has become a central issue of global relations.
