University of East Anglia (UEA), MA, International Relations

War and peace remain central concerns in international relations to this day, but the discipline has broadened to embrace other important transnational issues, including global economics, the environment, human rights, religion and migration. Perhaps you have a degree in international relations, politics, economics, law or business studies, and are looking to specialise, or have studied geography, environmental studies or economics, and are interested in the wider applications of your subject knowledge. Or, perhaps you simply have a keen interest in global politics, but no formal experience in any of these subjects. Whatever your background, this flexible and cross-disciplinary MA will have much to offer you.
