The purpose of the International Relations at University of Miskolc  is to train experts with strong theoretical knowledge who can analyse current international political and economic trends.

They are equipped to understand the connections within the globalising international system, using their knowledge of international economics, international law and international relations theories, as well as regional and civilisational interdisciplinary knowledge, and professional language skills. They can conduct deeper analyses of the economic, political and social contexts of specific regions. They can continue their studies at the doctoral level.

Career prospects

The master’s degree students can be employed in various fields where they need to creatively and proactively solve professional tasks, especially in building and maintaining international relations. With a diploma in international relations, graduates can effectively use their theoretical, practical and foreign language knowledge to adapt to the political, economic and ecological challenges of the ever changing, 21st century global world.

The three specializations will equip the students to understand and analyse the political, economic, and cultural environment of Central Asian regions (including learning Chinese at our university’s Confucius Institute), to understand Central Europe, with special regard to the ethnic and national minorities of the region (particularly Hungarians across the border); and address the consequences of climate change, sustainability and the concept of “deep adaptation”.
