CEU Department of International Relations combines international relations research with regional expertise in the European Union and the wider European neighborhood, Central and East Asia, and the Middle East. Our primary focus is on the evolving role of the EU, Russia, China and the US in international affairs, the rise of new powers, and the role of non-state actors in world politics and the global economy.
The Department currently offers three degree programs:
MA in International Relations ONE YEAR / This program gives students a strong foundation in international affairs, stretching to contemporary issues of security and global economy. For a 360-degree perspective on international events, their causes and consequences, you will take courses in three different tracks: International Relations and Law, International Political Economy and Development, and International Political Sociology and History.
MA in International Relations TWO YEARS / This program is designed for candidates who graduated from a three-year bachelor’s program and wish to deepen their thinking about the workings of international relations. After a year of introductory courses, we offer students a combination of gateway and elective classes so they can build specialized knowledge in subfields such as conflict and security, or development. Students enrolled into two years program have a possibility to take part in the Bard Globalization and International Affairs Program (New York City) which includes an internship at prestigious organizations.
Doctor of Philosophy in Political Science – International Relations Track / Run by CEU’s Doctoral School of Political Science, Public Policy and International Relations, our doctoral program prepares students for careers in research and university-level teaching. Students explore areas such as comparative politics, political and international relations theory, international security and international political economy.
