Contents

The Master in International Relations follows the pattern of the intensive, one-year programs that IE has been successfully running for many years. The program will be taught in three periods: October to December, January to March and April to July.

All students will also have to write a Master´s thesis.

The program´s academic curriculum will be enriched by a series of visits and events that will make use of the largely untapped potential of Madrid´s political, diplomatic, defense, business, and financial communities.

The program will consist of twenty-three core courses divided into four academic areas: Skills, competencies and languages; International Organization, European Institutions and Security Studies; Social Sciences and Humanities; and Economics and Business.
