Master in International relations

The Master's programme in International Relations and Cultural Diplomacy at Andrzej Frycz Modrzewski Krakow University in Poland runs for four semesters, taught in English, with an annual tuition fee of 5400 PLN. The core curriculum emphasizes the traditional academic components of international relations while placing particular focus on the role of soft power and cultural diplomacy in contemporary global affairs. Courses offered within the programme include Foreign Policy of the European Union, The Post-Cold War World, Conflict and Natural Resources, US Foreign Policy, Multinational Companies, New Social Movements and International Relations, Migration, Refugees, and Citizenship in a Globalized World, Globalization and International Competitiveness, Religion and International Relations, Cultural Diplomacy in the World, and Human Rights in Cultural Context. Together these courses give students a grounding in how cultural, economic and political forces intersect in diplomacy and foreign affairs. As a master's-level field, international relations builds on undergraduate study in politics, economics, law or a related discipline, developing advanced analytical and research skills. Graduates of programmes in this field typically pursue careers with government ministries, international organizations, non-governmental organizations, multinational companies, and research institutions, or continue toward doctoral study. The Krakow location places students within a country that is a member of both the European Union and NATO, offering exposure to Central European perspectives on diplomacy and international cooperation alongside the programme's broader global curriculum.
