Introduction
Are you interested in how the United States compete with other military and economic powers? Would you like to know how peace processes evolve and which role diplomats play? Are you curious about the measures the European Union is taking against climate change? Do you want to gain insight into the processes behind international development cooperation? Are you interested in the current and future challenges of a globalizing world?
The Master of Science in International Politics (MIP) is a one-year Master's programme that aims to provide you with the theoretical and methodological skills necessary to study governance in a globalizing world. You will learn to anticipate and find solutions for complex global challenges in diplomacy, peace processes and conflict resolution, international development cooperation, environmental politics and political economy. Moreover, you will study regional political developments in Europe, North America, China, Russia and Eurasia.
The MIP programme gives you the opportunity to study at one of Europe's oldest and most well-established universities and to engage in international affairs at all levels. The programme is both promoted and supported by the Faculty of Social Sciences and rejoices in regular interaction with developments in and outside political institutions in Brussels.
