Ph.D International Relations

The Doctor of Philosophy in International Relations (PhD) program prepares researchers to conduct cutting-edge, interdisciplinary research in major areas of international affairs and political science. International Relations is a subject of study within the social sciences. Politics, history, linguistics, economics, philosophy, religious studies, business, and law are just a few of the areas it ties to. International Relations professionals examine global issues such as poverty, human rights, and ethics, and attempt to discover solutions based on interdisciplinary study. International Relations students are educated about the effects of globalisation and global policy during their classes. They also learn about how political systems interact and what their global influence is. It's no coincidence that countless international diplomats, ambassadors, and presidents have studied International Relations in university.
