Loading...

Our International Relations & War MA offers you the opportunity to study international relations in a multi-disciplinary department devoted to the study of all aspects of war. You will study this course online, meaning that you can access our high standard of teaching and expert staff from anywhere in the world without disrupting your personal and professional life.

Key benefits

  • An entirely web-delivered degree course.
  • Be part of a world-leading department, a vibrant research community and an international student body, drawn from a wide variety of academic and professional backgrounds.
  • An academically rigorous course on which lecturers provide close support and guidance.
  • You will develop the skills necessary for in-depth and critical analysis of international affairs and become familiar with the latest research.
  • Course materials include specially-written content, images, videos, maps, intensively used discussion forums and full access to the resources of our library’s extensive electronic holdings.
  • Maximum flexibility for you: access content and respond to discussion postings in your own time for each study unit.
  • If your own circumstances (time commitments, visa, accommodation, etc.) allow, you may choose, for one term, to take one or two residential modules in our campus in London.
  • As with many of our graduates, this MA enables you to prepare for a career in sectors relating to international, security, and military affairs, or helps you upskill yourself for promotion or career change.
