Course Overview

The diploma provides a foundation in the academic discipline of International Relations and the array of ‘real world’ practices and problems that produce world politics: looking for example, at diplomacy, arms control, and arms proliferation, global health policy, humanitarian intervention and international development policy. While attending closely and consistently to issues to armed conflict, it thus offers a significantly broader education in international politics.

The program allows you to gain a comprehensive understanding of the deep structures that constitute world order, and the pressing contemporary issues that we face, such as armed conflict, human displacement, inequality and injustice. As such, it offers a balance between covering core content in the field of International Relations while allowing students to actively develop an area of specialism as they progress.
