DurationObjectives
The MSc (International Relations) programme offers an integrative set of courses that aims to equip students with the ability to understand the complexity of international relations from both the academic and policy perspectives.
The MSc IR programme is designed to help students:
Develop analytical skills to understand a complex, interdependent world.
Recognize the significance of theory for practice, and practice in theory.
Appreciate the complex dynamics between state and non-state actors.
Encourage creative rethinking of academic and policy analysis.
Relevance
Contemporary international relations are no longer the exclusive preserve of state actors.
The high politics of war, peace, and strategic diplomacy have expanded in scope to accommodate an array of concerns, encompassing complex and interrelated issues, such as: international trade and investment; ethnic conflict; terrorism and insurgency; non-traditional security issues related to the environment, energy, water, and health.
Against this backdrop, the management of conflict and the search for justice and recognition (state, social, individual) are becoming more emotively charged.
The traditional approach to security is being subsumed by newer concepts, such as global governance, politics of communications, and the politics of the global South.
At the same time, global and regional multilateral institutions are experimenting with new techniques for dealing with conflict and wars of all sort and scales.
Benefits
For the wide array of our student body—post-graduate students, diplomatic personnel, military personnel, civil servants, NGO activists, philanthropists, and retired professionals—the benefits of our multipronged programme is that it offers skills for navigating our new, complex, and volatile international arena.
For students already equipped with a wealth of experience from their careers (public or private), joining the MSc programme will enrich their awareness of creative possibilities for making this world a better place.
