Program description
Learn about the current globalized issues, players, and power struggles while gaining the knowledge and industry expertise needed to launch a career in international relations.
You will study the key figures, organizations, and international regulations that support both world politics and the international political economy in this course. You'll examine their objectives and problems in detail. You'll discover their effects on nations, societies, and people — from a migrant crossing the Mediterranean to a worker putting the Chemical Weapons Convention into effect.
Additionally, you'll be free to pursue your hobbies. Examine the Paris Accords carefully. Investigate the effects of fair trade. Or you may look at social movements like the Hong Kong pro-democracy movement, the Flygskam movement, or the Yellow Vests movement.
You will develop abilities that are specifically useful for international relations careers. Additionally, you'll visit Brussels and The Hague to learn more about global institutions like NATO and the European Commission.
