Students at the International Affairs MA program from Carleton University benefit from having direct access to officials from government departments, business and non-governmental organizations based in Canada’s capital city. Career opportunities are just down the road, and are facilitated by our extensive internship and co-operative education programs.
Career Opportunities
NPSIA graduates have a remarkable record of success finding employment in the international affairs field, including positions in international organizations (such as the Council of Europe, the World Bank, the World Trade Organization and the United Nations), in government departments (Global Affairs, Agriculture, National Defence, Environment, Public Safety and the Privy Council) and in the private and not-for-profit sector. Several master’s students have gone on to doctoral work in top university programs globally, while recent doctoral graduates have gone into government and academic posts.
