The Master of International Relations (MIR) Extension provides advanced knowledge and skills necessary to respond to the complex and globalised international environment.
Throughout the degree, you will critically engage with key theories and issues related to the study of international relations through a range of elective subjects and specialisations. These provide the opportunity to develop knowledge and skills in one of four areas: research, public health, maritime security and policy, or international policy and skills.
This two-year degree is aimed at graduates of any discipline. It offers an interdisciplinary and practical understanding of international relations. It is designed for graduates who are seeking careers addressing international issues in government and international organisations, in worldwide non-government organisations, and the business sector, or for those who are interested in undertaking further research-oriented degrees such as a PhD.
The degree is also suitable for those currently employed in internationally focused positions who are interested in upgrading their knowledge and skills.
