Wars and division; poverty and pandemics; the climate and cost of living crises. Take a deeper dive behind the headlines to ask tougher questions about urgent issues. In an increasingly globalised and interconnected world, the challenges we face demand cooperation — and that’s where you come in. On this QAA-accredited Masters course, you’ll be conducting a more dynamic, disruptive investigation of international relations; one that stretches far beyond the traditionally Euro-centric perspectives to embrace regional and minority voices. Supported by a teaching and research team drawn from four continents — plus a string of prestigious guest speakers — you’ll explore the key contemporary debates, growing as an analyst, critical thinker, and sustainability champion. You’ll interrogate your own biases as you examine concepts like ‘power’, ‘citizenship’, and ‘the state’, and you’ll consolidate your theoretical knowledge by developing into an elite-level communicator and negotiator. This course is for problem-solvers, the socially and environmentally responsible, and the politically and culturally curious. Only by seeing the world through the eyes of others can we become truly global citizens — appreciating the key issues shaping our age, and understanding how ethical, empathetic decisions can help to create meaningful change. With those insights, and a great career awaits you in diplomacy, the media, political advising and advocacy, and much, much more.
