International Relations (Research Training)

Course Overview

The MA International Relations (Research Training) at Aberystwyth University is a postgraduate programme designed for postgraduate students passionate about understanding society. Based in Aberystwyth, Wales, this programme combines theoretical knowledge with practical application, with a 1-year full-time structure. Students of international relations in the 21st century are confronted by a world in flux. Established structures of power and authority are being profoundly reshaped, or even torn down altogether, as new patterns of global relations and new forms of political identity come to prominence. Through this process, the landscape of contemporary global politics is changing rapidly, in pronounced and often unpredictable ways. A minimum ielts score of 6.5 is required for admission. Graduates from this programme benefit from strong career prospects, with 96% student satisfaction rating, a median graduate salary of £22,000 within three years, a 100% continuation rate, and 70% of graduates in employment or further study.
