Overview

1.0        INTRODUCTION

M.A. of International Relations and Diplomatic Studies (MIRDS) as international connections, communication and collaboration become increasingly important across all areas of life; it’s unsurprising to find a corresponding increase in demand for graduates from the field of international relations. The most-coveted international relations careers – such as positions in high profile international organizations – are hotly contested, and studying a specialized Masters in International Relations is a definite asset, particularly if combined with international experience. Conflict and peacemaking; comparative foreign policy; environmental policy; human rights; trade and financial regulation; international law; diplomatic instruments and processes; migration and refugees; international security; and the role of international organizations such as the European Union are common international relations topics and specializations today.

Careers Opportunities

We are often asked about the employment prospects of students who major in International Relations. We take their questions regarding career planning very seriously.

While a degree in International Relations does not lead to a specific career in the way that, accounting or engineering does, a major in International Relations, by emphasizing clarity in speech and writing, analytical skills and a detailed knowledge of world politics prepares students for careers in government, journalism, law, non-governmental organizations, international business, and teaching and research. Recent IR graduates currently work in all of these fields.  Some have gone directly into careers upon graduating; others have enrolled in graduate school prior to employment.
