DCUs MA in International Relations, the oldest of its kind in Ireland, is known for its dedicated staff with a wide range of expertise and its diverse student body. We welcome students from around the world, with various career backgrounds and different undergraduate degrees. Our approach is inclusive, considering international relations as a combination of different theories, disciplines, and global perspectives.
In the first semester, you'll have small classes to introduce core subjects, giving you the intellectual skills you'll need for the entire programme and helping you connect with fellow students.
In the second semester, you can choose from a range of elective courses specifically tailored for the MA in International Relations. You can also select modules from related programmes like international security studies, public policy, and law.
The optional modules cover topics such as international politics, human rights, the economy, communication, trade, regional studies and environmental protection. In addition, you'll work on a dissertation of up to 15,000 words on the topic of your choice, receiving support from the beginning of the programme, including one-on-one supervision.
Students have two options for completing the MA programme: full-time in 12 months or part-time over two years.
