Master in INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS

At Luiss Libera Università Internazionale degli Studi Sociali Guido Carli, tuition is 17,523 USD per year.

International relations examines how states, international organizations, and other actors interact on the global stage, covering topics such as diplomacy, foreign policy, international security, global political economy, and international law. Students typically study the history and theory of international relations alongside more applied topics, including regional studies, negotiation, and the workings of international institutions. Coursework often combines analytical frameworks with case studies of specific conflicts, negotiations, or policy episodes, helping students understand how theory applies to real events on the global stage. This International Relations program is offered at the master's level by Luiss Libera Universita Internazionale degli Studi Sociali Guido Carli, located in Roma, Italy, and is taught in English. The program follows the two-year structure standard for master's degrees in the European system, giving students time to build a solid grounding in international relations theory before moving into more specialized coursework. Graduates of international relations programs pursue careers in diplomatic services, international organizations, government ministries, and non-governmental organizations working on foreign policy or humanitarian issues. Others move into roles in international business, where an understanding of political and regulatory environments across countries supports work in areas such as market entry or political risk analysis. Some continue into journalism, think tanks, or research roles focused on global affairs, while others pursue further academic study at the doctoral level. Because international relations addresses questions that arise wherever countries and institutions interact, graduates typically find opportunities across a wide range of sectors that require an understanding of global politics, policy, and cross-border cooperation.
