Introduction
The Master of Science in International Relations is a post-graduate degree programme. The programme has been validated in 2009 and undergone accreditation in 2011 and 2018.
Purpose of this MSc in IR programme is to offer postgraduate students an opportunity to explore and study established and rapidly developing areas of international politics.
The programme has a strong international and comparative approach, covering mainly EU, US and issues within the context of the bilateral and multilateral relations between states.
However, the applicability of these aspects in diurnal business will be emphasized by also considering the Albanian context. In terms of career prospects, students completing the programme successfully may go on to a variety of career options including: diplomacy and public administration, a career with International Organisations, working with NGOs, university teaching and further research. Thus, the underlying aim of the programme is to develop a sound understanding of international theories & practice – focusing in EU related, US related and to International Organisations’ related issues – through combination of taught core and optional courses, and to develop appropriate legal research by means of a significant piece of independent written work supported by appropriate academic supervision and two compulsory modules in postgraduate research skills and methodology.
