The MA International Relations degree at Aberystwyth University enables students to grasp the complexity of this turbulent moment in world politics and to think through its meanings, both theoretical and practical. Whether their background is in international relations or a different discipline, the range of modules and academic expertise that the MA course provides will encourage students to stretch their horizons and explore the many different possibilities for envisioning international politics today.
Students of international relations in the 21st century are confronted by a world in flux. Established structures of power and authority are being profoundly reshaped, or even torn down altogether, as new patterns of global relations and new forms of political identity come to prominence. Through this process, the landscape of contemporary global politics is changing rapidly, in pronounced and often unpredictable ways. At the same time, dramatic advances in science and technology, as well as far-reaching developments in economic and social organisation, require new conceptions of what politics is and where it is happening. As the climate emergency most strikingly demonstrates, the challenges that face international relations now are unprecedented. However, profound change also invites a bold reimagining of the nature of politics, of relations with one another and of humans existence in the world.
