Broaden your cultural and social perspectives by studying International Relations in one of the most diverse cities in the world. Ideal for those wanting to gain international experience without compromising on educational learning, our Paris-based postgraduate diploma offers the best of both worlds from a truly global viewpoint.
Be trained in the fascinating area of international relations in this popular postgraduate diploma. Developed through a global lense, this intensive programme offered by the University of London Institute Paris (ULIP) delivers a sophisticated theoretical and applied understanding of specialist areas, including globalisation and development, security and US foreign policy.
Throughout the programme, you will undertake independent research on a topic of your choice, which will be supported by lively group sessions, seminars and lectures on engaging subjects such as the nuances of conflict and war, human rights and foreign military interventions in civil wars.
In addition, you will be taught by a diverse set of academics at the cutting-edge of their fields. Our faculty members have internationally-recognised research strengths in the politics of the developing world and critical theory, as well as regional expertise in South America, South East Asia and the Middle East.
The academics who are involved in the Mile End Institute and the Centre for European Research continue to conduct research on constantly changing policy issues and organise free events throughout the year - giving you front-row access to groundbreaking research in action.
