About this course

The MA (Hons) in International Relations will teach you to explore issues such as the origins of war and peace, the making of foreign policy, trade regimes, international terrorism, human rights, international law, and the interaction of political and economic development. The MA (Hons) in International Relations is a four-year course run by the School of International Relations. Alongside international relations, in the first year of your studies, you will be required to study an additional two subjects.

In the second year, you will usually carry on at least one of these subjects, sometimes two. Find out more about how academic years are organised. First and second year will equip you with the range of experience and critical skills necessary for more in-depth study of specialist subject areas at Honours level.
