Master in International relations

The Master's programme in International Relations at the University of Warsaw, Poland, is a two-year, second-cycle degree delivered full-time across four semesters, with an annual tuition fee of 3000 EUR. It offers twenty courses, including a master's seminar aimed at thesis preparation and individual focus, with all units taught in English by American and European academic staff. The programme introduces students to the workings of international relations while also making them responsive to interdisciplinary concerns such as law, business, history and culture. It is addressed to students who already hold a bachelor's, master of arts, or equivalent degree in international relations or a related area, preparing them to work in institutions and companies that deal with a wide range of international issues. Students can specialize in security and strategic studies, modern diplomacy, European integration, or international trade policy, with classes run on a weekly basis. The programme aims to develop interdisciplinary skills, including the ability to describe the contemporary world, explain phenomena and processes, interpret rules and recent developments in international relations, understand the mechanisms governing national foreign policies, evaluate and forecast the actions of international actors, and participate practically in the international environment. Graduates of the programme carry professional skills suited to roles across government, international organizations, business and diplomacy, building on the University of Warsaw's standing as one of Poland's leading academic institutions.
