The School of International Relations and Diplomacy (IRD) is the fastest-growing school at Anglo-American University. It offers accredited bachelor’s and master’s programs designed to endow graduates with a strong interdisciplinary understanding of theory and practice in the dynamic fields of international relations and diplomacy.
Students enrolled in the School of IRD benefit greatly from Anglo-American University’s unique multicultural community of students and faculty and centralized location within Europe.
Our Bachelor of Arts programs are three-year programs that build on the knowledge of theoretical and philosophical concepts across historical contexts, with a view to better understand politics internationally as well as domestically. The curriculum is also complemented by a range of skills-oriented courses on writing, research, or language proficiency.
The Master of Arts in International Relations and Diplomacy builds on the theory and conceptual knowledge of world affairs with an emphasis on their application in individual or collective research in the fields of international relations, conflict studies, globalization, and development of diplomatic history.
