Master of Arts (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,

including diplomats, other government officials, business persons,
journalists, specialists in public affairs, government relations,

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

with students' needs.
