Drawing on UC's teaching and research strengths, graduates can obtain a master's-level capstone qualification in the popular area of international relations and diplomacy. This degree will offer you an innovative, interdisciplinary programme of taught courses with a strong professional emphasis. Note: This is a sister qualification to the Master of Policy and Governance, which caters for students interested in advancing a policy and/or governance career in local, regional, national, and third sector/not-for-profit sectors. The MIRAD caters perfectly for students interested in careers in foreign affairs or inter-state coordination. While Manatū Aorere | Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade does not require specific tertiary pathways, applicants can find it advantageous to have a postgraduate degree in an analytical subject such as law, political science, international relations, economics, or science.
Graduates will leave UC having:
- advanced knowledge of current research in international relations
- advanced knowledge of current professional practice in diplomacy and related fields
- the ability to understand theoretical and practical problems in international relations and diplomacy
- proven expertise in research processes (eg, formulating a research question, data collection and analysis, case study analysis, and hypothesis testing)
- engaged with senior university staff and senior figures in politics and policy.
