Bachelor in Master Degree Program in International Affairs

Wenzao Ursuline University of Languages, situated in southern Taiwan, offers an undergraduate program in International Affairs for students interested in global politics, diplomacy, and international relations. International affairs as a field draws on political science, economics, history, and law to examine how countries, international organizations, and non-state actors interact on the world stage. Undergraduate coursework in this area typically covers subjects such as international relations theory, comparative politics, international law, global economics, and regional studies, giving students a broad foundation for understanding cross-border political and economic issues. Students often study topics such as diplomacy and foreign policy, international security, global trade and development, and the role of institutions such as the United Nations and regional organizations in addressing shared challenges. Given the university's focus on languages, students in this program frequently combine their international affairs coursework with language study, developing communication skills relevant to careers that involve cross-cultural or international work. Many programs in this field also include coursework or projects examining current global events, encouraging students to apply theoretical frameworks to ongoing political and economic developments. Graduates with a degree in international affairs pursue career paths in government agencies handling foreign affairs, trade, or international cooperation, as well as roles in international organizations, non-governmental organizations, and diplomatic services. Others move into international business, journalism covering global affairs, or research and policy analysis roles at think tanks. Some graduates continue to graduate study in international relations, political science, or a related field to deepen their expertise before entering these careers. The program is taught in English, making it accessible to international students studying global affairs in southern Taiwan.
