A Guide to International Relations Degrees Abroad

Best Locations

You can study international relations abroad at virtually every major college in the world, so take your pick! A good way to start is by thinking on the broad scale about major regions, such as Europe, South America, or East Asia. Then hone in on specific countries that are of most interest you and research the top universities and international relations programs in each.

Always keep the language barrier in mind, as most universities will use their native tongue as the medium of instruction. No matter what, if you plan on pursuing a degree abroad then learning the language should be a big part of your experience!

The content of your education about international relations and politics will vary significantly depending on where you choose to earn your degree. In wealthy and globally influential countries, such as the UK, Switzerland, and the Netherlands, the focus may be on how to leverage large international organizations and institutions to best solve the big issues facing today’s global community. However, if you study abroad in a developing country, such as those in Southeast Asia, Central America, or Africa, the focus may be more on issues of sustainable development and macroeconomics.
