MSc International Relations (International Intervention)

  • DeadlineStudy Details:

    MSc Full-time: 1 year

Course Description

International organisations, humanitarian agencies and states all intervene in the sovereign affairs of nation-states. But when might such intervention be justified and how can it be made most effective?

Hosted in our Centre for International Intervention, our International Relations (International Intervention) MSc draws upon our staff’s decades of experience in the diplomatic and humanitarian sectors. Crisis management and negotiation simulations enable you to apply the conceptual challenges presented by intervention in practical contexts.

With the option of a Professional Training placement, the International Intervention pathway will enable you to tackle the ethical, legal and political challenges posed by international intervention.

Entry Requirements

A minimum of a 2:2 UK honours degree in area studies (Asian studies, European studies etc.), business management, criminology, economics, gender studies, geography, history, intercultural communication and translation, international relations, journalism, law, philosophy, political psychology, politics, public administration, sociology, social psychology or women’s studies, or a recognised equivalent international qualification. We may be able to take relevant work experience into consideration if you don’t meet these requirements.
