Overview

The Master of International Relations (MIR) is a one-and-a-half-year degree designed to provide you with the advanced knowledge and skills to respond to the complex and globalised international environment. You will critically engage with key theories and issues related to the study of international relations through a range of elective subjects and specialisations. These provide the opportunity to develop knowledge and skills in one of four areas: research, public health, maritime security and policy, or international policy and skills.

This degree is aimed at graduates in a related field. It offers an interdisciplinary and practical understanding of international relations. It is designed for graduates who are seeking careers addressing international issues in government and international organisations, in worldwide non-government organisations, and the business sector, or for those who are interested in undertaking further research-oriented degrees such as a PhD. The degree is also suitable for those currently employed in internationally focused positions who are interested in upgrading their knowledge and skills.

Through an innovative block teaching approach, you will study theories of international relations and a capstone experience. You will also have the opportunity to gain hands on experience through the internship program.
