The 2-year Programme consists of four semesters (terms) and offers 20 courses
including master seminar aimed at thesis preparation and individual focus. All units
are taught in English by experienced American and European academic teachers. The
unique format of the Graduate M.A. Programme in International Relations not only
introduces students to the workings of International Relations, but also makes them
responsive to interdisciplinary concerns such as law, business, history and culture. The
Programme is addressed to students who have obtained Bachelor, Master of Arts or
equivalent degree in international relations or related areas, and prepare to work in
institutions and companies dealing with wide-ranging repertoire of international
issues. The studies offer an array of options to specialize in: security and strategic
studies, modern diplomacy, European integration and international trade policy. The
classes are run on a weekly basis. In the general methodological sense, the purpose of
teaching international relations is to develop the following interdisciplinary skills:
ability to describe the contemporary world, to explain phenomena and processes, to
interpret rules and latest developments in international relations as well as
mechanisms governing national foreign policies, to evaluate and forecast actions and
behaviour of international life participants, finally to participate practically in the
international environment.
