Aimed at making a real difference in its field, the Master in International Relations is oriented towards candidates with a clear interest in international relations. Many people feel an intense international vocation but this is seldom accompanied by definite career goals. What does it take to be a consultant of international stature, a respected diplomat, a leading international civil servant, or the innovative manager of an NGO with global outreach? IE’s Master in International Relations is designed to help you answer these questions and to transform your calling into a specific career plan. This 10-month program will be taught entirely in English at IE’s urban campus in Madrid.
Objective
The program will enable you to participate successfully in international projects that require the cooperation of different players in the public and private sectors, including non-governmental and civil society organizations.
The Master in International Relations finds itself in a position to provide a unique perspective on international relations, due to its ground-breaking profile:
- Madrid’s position as a major European Union capital and reference in the Spanish-speaking world,
- IE’s commitment to academic excellence and entrepreneurial spirit, and
- A truly international environment, with students from across the world, and over 75 nationalities on campus.
The Difference
IE’s Master in International Relations is characterized by a number of specific features that make the program stand out, and contribute to making your time at IE truly unique:
- Study the European Union from within. Spain offers a vantage starting point for the study of European institutions: on the one hand, Spain is now a consolidated major player in the EU; on the other, memories from the times when it was a newcomer are still fresh, thus facilitating an analysis of the position that many Central and Eastern European countries occupy today.
- Field work in Brussels. A salient feature of the program is a week-long trip to Brussels, including visits to all major EU institutions (Parliament, Council, and Commission) to study the workings of Europe’s powerhouse of decision-making and policy development in situ.
- Madrid: making the most of the capital. The program’s academic curriculum will be enriched by a series of visits and events that will make use of the largely untapped potential of Madrid’s political, diplomatic, defense, business and financial communities.
- The case method. IE’s experience places the student at the epicenter of the learning process. Programs are centered round the case method, which places students in real situations for their deliberation in an international environment. The case method is particularly suited to the study of international relations and will play a pivotal role in this program, where a stipulated maximum of 30 students will decisively enhance the interactive nature of all classes.
- International skills. The program places a marked emphasis on the specific skills and languages that form an essential part of international relations. Highly innovative courses afford participants a thorough working knowledge of multicultural teambuilding, multilingual communication, negotiation in international forums and other key competencies that make up a complete toolkit for every internationally-oriented professional.
- Electives. The program’s April to July trimester will include an electives period in which students can choose from a list of subjects that are offered in IE business and law programs.
