NPSIA\u2019s MA program provides our students with a strong foundation in theory and practice<\/strong> across multiple focus areas of international affairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our students receive rigorous training<\/strong> in international relations theory, policy analysis and formulation, research methods, economics and law. Our program is interdisciplinary<\/strong>, reflecting our philosophy that exposure to a range of disciplines enables our students to develop a better understanding of our complex global environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through research assignments, case studies and simulations, mediation exercises, the preparation of policy papers, and project evaluation activities, our courses enable students to apply their academic training to contemporary policy issues.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Given that the ability to communicate is essential to international affairs, all our students must be able to function in a second major international language by the completion of their degree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through this comprehensive training, our students build the analytical and policy skills<\/strong> necessary to navigate an increasingly complex world and succeed in their chosen profession<\/p>\n\n\n\n
