Overview

It’s an inspiring and challenging course of study, and our field-leading team of experts is here to support you. University of East Anglia 's International Relations (Part time) MA will introduce you to the various theoretical approaches, analytical frameworks, and methods to understand the dynamics of global politics. You’ll have the flexibility to deepen and refine your knowledge by choosing from a diverse range of specialist modules. You might study war, peace, conflict and security, as well as a range of other transnational dynamics, such as global economics, the environment, human rights, foreign policy and regional politics from Europe to the Asia-Pacific.

You’ll be able to apply for internships in your School of study, notably to act as a research assistant for academics on relevant projects. Our many links with thinktanks and policymakers give our students exciting opportunities. For example, our postgraduate students recently visited the European Institute for Asian Studies (EIAS) in Brussels to work with their research assistants and UEA academics to produce policy briefs and op-eds for international publications.

We welcome students from a variety of disciplinary backgrounds, bringing a rich intellectual and cultural mix to each cohort. You may have studied IR before, or you may have a background in an associated degree, such as geography, sociology, environmental studies, economics, or development studies.

On this dynamic MA, you’ll be joined with students who are passionate about applying their knowledge to understanding and critically examining the international sphere. Whether you aim to work in international organisations, government agencies, NGOs, think tanks, or academia, the skills and knowledge you’ll acquire will be invaluable in your future career.
