A Bachelor's degree in International Relations and Global Affairs is a comprehensive program that explores the complex dynamics of global politics, economics, and cultures. This academic discipline equips students with a deep understanding of the interconnectedness of nations and the forces that shape the contemporary world.
Throughout the course of this degree program, students typically study a wide range of subjects, including:
Political Science: Students delve into the study of political systems, ideologies, and international institutions. They gain insights into the behavior of states and non-state actors on the global stage.
Economics: Understanding the global economy is crucial in international relations. Students examine international trade, finance, development, and economic policies, recognizing their impact on international affairs.
History: International relations are deeply rooted in historical events and developments. Students explore the historical context of conflicts, diplomacy, and international cooperation.
Cultural Studies: A strong foundation in cultural studies helps students appreciate the diversity of societies around the world. This knowledge is essential for effective diplomacy and cross-cultural communication.
International Law and Organizations: Students learn about international treaties, conventions, and organizations like the United Nations, which play a pivotal role in global governance and conflict resolution.
Security and Conflict Resolution: Understanding the dynamics of conflict, security challenges, and peacebuilding is central to this field. Students examine strategies for mitigating conflicts and promoting stability.
Research and Analysis: Developing strong research and analytical skills is a key component of the program. Students learn to analyze global issues, conduct policy research, and present informed recommendations.
Graduates of a Bachelor's degree in International Relations and Global Affairs are well-prepared for further studies and thereafter careers in diplomacy, international organizations, government agencies, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), international business, journalism, and academia. They often take on roles as diplomats, foreign affairs analysts, policy advisors, humanitarian workers, and global consultants.
This degree program not only provides a deep understanding of the world's complexities but also fosters critical thinking, cultural sensitivity, and a global perspective, making graduates valuable contributors to addressing the global challenges of the 21st century.
This program is unique in that it is offered in partnership with an international intergovernmental organization with a university mandate and with an active diplomacy.
This online bachelor's program is designed for students who are self-motivated and who do not depend on intense peer-to-peer support to move forward. Rather, it is ideal for students who enjoy reading on their own (structured intake of curated information) and
The curriculum provides a progression of courses over 4 modules (4 years), covering not only international relations and diplomacy but also global economics and sustainable development studies.
This program offers on a balanced blend of applicable professional knowledge and skills as well as essential academic knowledge with further academic studies in view.
