Civitas University in Warsaw runs International Relations as a two-year, full-time master's programme taught in English. It is meant for first-degree graduates who want to build a career in European institutions, diplomacy or international organisations.
The core of the master's degree joins theory with practice: contemporary international relations, international political economy, globalisation processes and the methodology of research in the field, backed by statistics and critical thinking. You also study European civilisation, the Common Foreign and Security Policy of the European Union and strategic studies.
Discussion-based classes look at the global powers and at the challenges and threats of the twenty-first century, while political strategies in a multipolar world and negotiation and mediation in a multicultural environment show how decisions are made. The curriculum puts weight on security, human rights and globalisation, and it ends with a master's seminar.
You choose between International Relations and International History and Security Studies. The first adds climate and energy security, risk and crisis management in the international environment, international mass media, tourism in international relations, and trade, aid and development. The second turns towards decolonisation and post-colonialism, European economic and political integration, and the social and economic context of modern conflicts.
