About the course

What can I expect out of this qualification?

Graduates will have advanced knowledge of international relations, be able to conduct independent research and be capable of critical analysis of evidence and arguments. They will be qualified for careers in international affairs including governmental organisations, journalism, international institutions and civil-society organisations.

Alternatively, the postgraduate diploma may act as a step-off qualification from the MIR.
