CURRENT RESEARCH AREAS
Research can be supervised in diverse aspects of International

Asia-Pacific region.
MASTER OF ARTS in International Relations
The degree is intended to provide opportunities for graduates
of diverse disciplinary backgrounds to develop their academic
understanding and professional skills in the field of international
relations, broadly defined. The program is expected to be
especially useful to students with relevant, professional
experience or ambitions, including diplomats, other government
officials, business persons, journalists, specialists in public
affairs, government relations, etc.
The program is multi-disciplinary in nature, focussing on
international politics, economics, management, and law and
diplomatic practice, in particular, but allowing both for
specialisation within the program as well as for the inclusion
of area studies, and other relevant subjects, in accordance
with students' needs.
Students take part in regular simulations and professional
seminars, workshops, exchanges with other institutions, including
relevant Government agencies, and, where possible, professional
placements. Special classes are provided in computing and
(where appropriate) English language, study, analytical, public
speaking and other skills. A special centre (with computing,
video and short-wave radio facilities, plus a range of pertinent
periodicals) has been set aside for use by students in the
program.
Students must complete 48 credit points from the following
list of subjects (or such greater number as may be required
in individual cases). Except with the permission of the Head
of Program, students are required to complete the following
four core subjects in order to graduate in the program:
