About International Relations, MA - at University of East Anglia (UEA)

Study

Students will learn how the world works at an academic level; growing a better knowledge of the world and international relations helps professionals explain why problems - from terrorism to financial crises - can occur and how best to react to resolve them.

Structure

Students have seminars and lectures for the initial semesters, and then commence working on their dissertation. The dissertation is a very important part of this degree: students choose their topic and are allocated an individual supervisor to give advice on every aspect of its creation. Assessment is based on this dissertation, plus essays, research papers, performance in seminars, tests and formal examinations.

Teaching

UEA's School of Political, Social and International Studies pride themselves on providing top-quality, research-inspired teaching with an interdisciplinary approach. Lecturers will share cutting edge information on your subject of study and provide a stimulating environment to learn. Most years, a trip to Brussels is organised for Master's students, visiting the EU and NATO, with opportunities to ask officials and military people questions on their work. It is also a chance to meet graduates from UEA who are now working in the area.

Employability

Over the course of the MA, students develop a variety of transferable skills including debating, oral presentations, team work, project work and essay writing. All students also take a module that is specifically designed to help improve research skills, ideal for those seeking a career in research. Graduates have taken up jobs in the fields of business, teaching, policy research, government and international organisations.

Entry requirements

Open to applicants with a good Honours degree - UK BA (Hons) 2:1 or equivalent - in a Humanities or Social Sciences subject.
