Master of Arts in International Relations aims to equip students with knowledge on the subjects that are within the scope of international relations. While the program is especially for those seeking to pursue an academic career, the target audience ranges from those employed in bureaucracy to media, civil society and the private sector.
The program offers courses in the sub-disciplines of international relations such as peace and conflict resolution, international security and intelligence, migration and diaspora, and regional studies in the Middle East, Eurasia, Africa, Asia-Pacific and South Asia.
During this two-year program, students are expected to pass the required courses and complete a master's thesis that will develop their analytical thinking and research skills.
