  • The pace of change in our world continues to grow. Countries and peoples are connected in increasingly complex ways. The list of challenges – and opportunities – is long, including populism, inequality, climate change, conflict, and governance. A better understanding of the world and the processes at work are essential. This MA programme aims to equip students with tools to analyse our world the choices we face.
  • The DCU MA in International Relations is the oldest in Dublin and is known for its dedicated staff and diverse student body.  They welcome students from all over the world, as well as those with different career experiences, and those who have studied very different subjects at the undergraduate level.  Their intellectual approach is also diverse. They see international relations as the meeting point of diverse theoretical, disciplinary, and geographical perspectives.  
  • In the first semester, the core introductory subjects are offered in small classes that offer students an intellectual toolkit to use throughout the course, and also help the students to get to know each other. 
  • In the second semester, students can choose from the many optional modules developed especially for the MA in International Relations, as well as modules from a host of other programs in international relations, security studies, public policy, and law. 
  • These normally include issues such as international politics, human rights, the economy, communications, trade, area studies, and environmental protection. Students also write a dissertation of up to 15,000 words, and receive support in doing so from the beginning of the course, including one-to-one supervision.
