UNIVERSITY MASTER IN INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS
The globalization of politics and economics, together with the development of regional integration processes, makes the national perspective insufficient to fully understand the reality of the 21st century. For this reason, there is a growing need for professionals with an in-depth understanding of international issues to enter the labor market. The Master’s Degree in International Relations responds to this demand.
