Master in International Affairs (MIA)

The Master in International Affairs (MIA) is an innovative two-year programme designed to provide students with a unique opportunity to develop an interdisciplinary approach to international issues.

The curriculum helps students become leading civil servants, consultants, and executives who understand and act upon complex transnational issues. It combines a theoretical preparation in economics, history, law, political science through interdisciplinary seminars and electives with the practical development of the technical skills necessary for effective analysis and decision making.

Students can concentrate in one of three areas:

• Global and Regional Integration
• Security and Conflict Management
• Global Society
