There are options to gain practical experience through an internship, and the degree is designed to allow you the option to study subjects offered in departments other than Politics.
This programme differs from MA degrees in international relations offered elsewhere because although your study of the international and global will include the study of relations between nation-states, it will also encompass the study of how culture and knowledge impinge upon, and are reshaped by, globalisation.
The programme is especially relevant if you are considering further study at PhD level, or if you work in areas where an understanding of international politics is essential (journalism, for example). It offers valuable training and analytical skills for those working in international corporations, teaching, non-governmental organisations, the United Nations, other international organisations, diplomatic services, defence and other areas of government.
