The goal of this programme is to offer students in-depth knowledge on the topics of globalization, international institutions, security, development studies, and human rights. It enables our graduate students to understand and analyze complex political and social problems that go beyond state borders and cultural boundaries.
This programme is recommended to applicants who are interested in politics, social problems and interactions between different nations and cultures. While preference is given to students with prior knowledge in political science or international relations, students with a different background will complete foundational courses in our BA programme in the first semester in order to acquire the necessary knowledge.
This programme enables students to work independently and also as members of a team. We help them to develop skills of adaptability and self-reflexivity that are crucial in today’s fast changing World. Our aim is to give our students skills and knowledge that could be readily used whether they seek employment in the public or private sphere.
The graduates may seek employment at international institutions, in the private sector, media or at NGO’s.

If the applicant does not have any of the above certifications, their English proficiency will be assessed during the admission interview. Any letter of acceptance issued by the Faculty of Social Sciences is based on the verified fact that the applicant’s command of English has been assessed; therefore, they are considered eligible to pursue their studies at the institution.
If the applicant can prove that they completed their former education entirely in English by submitting a notarized attestation and a detailed academic transcript, no proof of language knowledge will be required throughout the admission process.
Applicants must have a BA/BBA degree in any of the following fields: International Relations, Social Scienes, Humanities, Economics, Law.
Applicants with a full application package will be notified about the exact time and date of application interviews conducted via Skype or Ms Teams. Applicants are responsible for having technically suitable conditions for the interview from their side.
As the program expects students with diverse backgrounds, the goal of an entrance exam is not to test what students know, but to see if they are motivated in the first place; if they have a good grasp of current global affairs; and if they possess the analytical skills necessary to join the program.
Below is a list of suggested articles from Oxford Research Encyclopaedias, all freely accessible (http://oxfordre.com/internationalstudies/). We recommend these not because we expect students to know them by heart, but because we would like to offer applicants the opportunity to get a rough idea about what issues and topics the field of International Relations (IR) deals with.
