You-ll explore in depth key theories, issues and controversies, and have the opportunity to pursue interdisciplinary studies and develop your interests in a vibrant and intellectually stimulating community.
The programme hosts an official "Jean Monnet Module" (one of your compulsory courses), recognised by the European Commission for its interdisciplinary and student-centred approach.
Guest lectures and specialised seminar series will make an important contribution to your academic programme, bringing prominent international scholars and practitioners to Edinburgh to present current research and perspectives. You'll also have access to the University's Europa Institute established in 1968 to specialise in the law and politics of the European Union; its library is considered one of the best of its kind.
Finally, there is also a vibrant community of students interested in international and European Politics, so you-ll have plenty of opportunities to network with your peers, organise events and even work on publications in the Leviathan - the University-s own journal of Politics and International Relations.
Career opportunities: While many graduates of this programme have gone on to further studies and academic careers, many have taken up positions in a wide range of institutions and companies. These include NATO and the United Nations, the European Commission and Parliament, regional and national government institutions, development organisations, educational, research and think-tank organisations, banking, media, lobbying, and commercial organisations.
The transferable skills you gain in areas such as communication and research will give you an edge in the employment market, whatever your eventual career.
