Humans live in an increasingly interconnected and globalized world where events that unfold on other continents can affect lives very quickly. Sometimes politicians are able to work together in a search for solutions but disagreement, and even the possibility of conflict, never seems far away.
The University of Essex's most popular course, MA International Relations, attracts students from all over the world. Students focus on general theoretical perspectives of the discipline, providing the tools for students to understand historical and contemporary events. The emphasis is on explaining and understanding international events, rather than simply the intellectual history of international relations as a field. Students also take optional modules from a large selection offered by this department, including: global environmental issues, democracies in Europe, forecasting global trends, international security, and conflict resolution.
