MA in International Relations - Richmond - The American ...

The International
Internship Program
At the heart of Richmond’s MA in International
Relations is a prestigious Internship program that
allows students the opportunity to experience
what they had previously only been able to study;
the real life dramas that define life in the
international arena. By drawing upon our network
of contacts, Richmond is able to offer a wide
range of exciting and rewarding Internships that
are unrivalled in this field.
Our commitment to the Internship is at the core
of the MA program, for it is designed to ensure
that our postgraduate students receive far more
than an academic qualification; they receive
invaluable experience working in a related field
that cannot be replicated in text books or the
classroom. The Internship provides a head start
in the quest for meaningful employment, as the
experience has been the starting point of many a
successful career, as a student encounters valuable
contacts and opportunities during the placement.
Below is a sampling of internships
that Richmond students have
previously engaged in:
