Graduate Certificate in International Relations

The course will develop your capacity to collect and interpret information, to analyse arguments, policies and developments, and to construct cogent verbal and written arguments on international relations subjects. In this course, you'll explore the mechanisms and decisions through which trade, production and finance have been globalised, and the impacts of these processes. You'll also study key relationships between security and globalisation, transnationalism and regionalism, as well as core concepts such as the security dilemma, securitisation and security communities. Additionally, the course covers conflict between different principles of order and justice in world politics. The course will also enhance your understanding of the ways in which knowledge of international relations is utilised, including in professional employment.
