Course content

Gain a grounding in research methods with our International Relations MA/PGDip/PGCert. Our course covers the central foundations of the contemporary discipline of International Relations. This has grown beyond the traditional concern with inter-state relations.

You will have access to a dynamic, supportive community of scholars who undertake internationally recognised research. And you can attend a rich programme of research seminars with presentations from high-profile, external guest speakers.

The course integrates research and teaching. And allows you to focus on your areas of interest through a range of optional modules.

You will benefit from links with international NGOs, many of which are based in Oxford. These include Oxfam and Rights and Accountability in Development (RAID).

Our graduates have built successful careers in a variety of disciplines including:

• social work
• management
• teaching
• lecturing
• publishing
• journalism.

You can also study this course through distance learning.
