Why study the Master of International Studies?
International Relations (IR) is one of the most exciting components of political science. Increasingly, professional opportunities are linked to, and pursued within, a shrinking and more complex world. Traditionally, dimensions of IR remain central to international peace and prosperity. These include: international diplomacy, arms control, alliance politics, institutionalism and development studies at both the regional and global levels. Newer dimensions of IR are also moving toward centre-stage, becoming integral components of the field. These include international political economics, environmental politics, refugee and migration problems, human rights and human security. The rapidly expanding and diverse array of issue-areas that can be studied under the IR rubric establishes the field as a dynamic and important part of our daily lives. The School of Political Science and International Studies at The University of Queensland has strong and growing research and teaching profile in the field of International Relations. It has close ties with several Commonwealth government agencies (including the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade and the Department of Defence) as well as with a number of overseas institutions and research centres in Asia, Europe and North America.
