Overview

International Relations at University of East Anglia is an inspiring course of study, and our field-leading team of experts is here to support you. You’ll delve into the most pressing issues in global politics, such as climate change and war. You'll explore the rise of emerging powers and the Global South. You’ll study key concepts within IR to give you frameworks that help you get to grips with those issues. The course also gives you flexibility to choose specialist modules. You might tackle global economics, human rights, foreign policy, and regional politics from Europe to the Asia-Pacific.

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. They worked with research assistants and UEA academics to produce policy briefs and op-eds for international publications, gaining transformative career experience.

We welcome and support students from a variety of disciplinary backgrounds and global contexts, 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. Or you may be coming to this area afresh, looking to change the course of your career.

After the Course

An understanding of international affairs is increasingly important in all kinds of careers, and our programme will provide you with vital employability skills and many networking opportunities.

Recent graduates from our School have taken jobs in business, teaching, research, journalism, and many international organisations, including the UN, EU and NATO.

We work closely with UEA’s Careers Service, which can provide advice on all aspects of graduate employment as well as help you arrange internships and work placements. The school has a dedicated employability director and career adviser who will help you think about what you want to do next and how to get there.
