Master Histoire — Relations internationales

The tuition fee is 292 USD per year.

The Relations internationales track of the Master Histoire at Sorbonne Université, based in Paris, France, studies the history of international relations, examining how states, empires, and other political actors have interacted through diplomacy, conflict, and cooperation over time. This specialization within the history discipline draws on primary sources such as diplomatic archives, treaties, and government records, along with historiography on topics including the balance of power, the origins and conduct of major conflicts, the history of international institutions, and the evolution of foreign policy. Students typically build the source-criticism and argumentation skills common to history training while focusing specifically on the international dimension of historical events, often situating national histories within broader regional or global contexts. Coursework may span multiple periods, tracing how international systems have changed from earlier centuries through the twentieth century and into more recent history. Graduates of history programs with an international-relations focus commonly pursue careers in public administration, international organizations, diplomacy-adjacent research, journalism, and education, with some continuing into doctoral study on diplomatic or international history. Others move into policy research institutes or organizations working on foreign affairs. This is a two-year master's degree delivered in French, reflecting the program's location at a Paris-based university. The program begins in September, with a yearly tuition of 250 EUR, in line with standard public master's tuition in France. Applicants should have solid historical training along with particular interest in diplomacy, conflict, and the history of international systems.
