MA International Relations

Program Description

We live in an international world. Daily headlines, national policies and regional economies are shaped by people all round the globe.

The mass media daily brings news of social unrest, wars and natural disasters across the globe. Increasingly groups that feel aggrieved seek to grab the headlines and strike terror in countries held responsible for their misery.

The MA in International Relations provides an interdisciplinary programme that enables students to analyse these problems in depth and provides an exciting forum to discuss international problems.

"My experiences at Webster Graduate School were life affecting. The classes were small enough where every single person felt comfortable to share their thoughts and opinions on serious subjects, which in turn allowed each of us to grow comfortable with discussing issues that are serious both politically as well as culturally.  For example, with our professors we had the opportunity to witness Parliament in action, a trip to Wimbledon for tennis, an excursion to Geneva, Switzerland for a conference on human rights issues hosted by Webster, and sometimes just as simples as going to a nearby Pub for a pint and some football after class. "
