UndergraduateCourse summary
Want to understand major issues affecting the world today? Our MA in International Relations will help you get to grips with what’s unfolding in real time. Today more so than ever, politicians and publics alike understand that local and national politics are downstream from international factors. Whether a global economic shock, a decision made by a supranational body, or a rapidly expanding new technology, international relations are at the root of so many of the challenges and opportunities faced by people, companies and governments in the modern world. Almost by definition, these are large and incredibly diverse topics, dizzying in their complexity. Our MA in International Relations will help you to study, understand, and even predict current and forthcoming global trends. On successful completion of study, we will issue the following award: MA International Relations. If you complete a pathway route, your award title will reflect this.
Assessment method
During your course you will undertake two different types of assessments, informal assessments (also known as formative) and formal (also known as summative). Your formative assessments are designed to enhance your engagement with the taught content of your modules and to prepare you for your summative assessments.

Your summative assessments contribute towards your final grade and degree classification and will assess you based on the learning outcomes of your modules. Your summative assessments could include a combination of written assignments, contributions to discussion boards, critical reviews, digital poster presentations and dissertations.
