Programme 6701T005: Master in International Relations (MAIN)

Academic year 2019/2020


Academic Supervisor of the programme: doc. PhDr. Jan Karlas, M.A., Ph.D.


International Relations (IR) is a two-year English-language Master's degree programme, which provides students with the knowledge and analytical skills to understand and explain the international context of politics, economy, and security. The world is growing ever more interdependent and major political decisions, influencing our everyday lives, are made not only by individual nation states but increasingly also by regional as well as global institutions. Our programme helps students understand how international and European politics work, and what are the challenges faced by states as well as business and societal actors in the globalized world. Students learn in depth about the functioning of the European Union and of the key global institutions which states have developed to address these challenges. They study how, if at all, international conflicts can be productively transformed into cooperation.


In addition to providing students with a robust background in international and European politics, the programme puts an emphasis on the development of students’ analytical capabilities, abstract and critical thinking, and communication as well as language skills. The study curriculum of the programme International Relations is centred on the first year’s set of common compulsory modules and the second year’s individual specialization, stay abroad, and master’s thesis research. In the first semester students focus on the theories and methods for the study of international politics, and on the introduction to international security and international economic relations. In the second semester they acquire deeper understanding of the problems of global institutions, international law, and European studies. Students can obtain a formal specialization in European studies (ES).


Career prospects of our graduates reflect the prestige of the programme they have studied and the high demands the programme puts on their abilities and on their academic, professional and personal development. Our graduates are individuals who have been trained in critical thinking as well as in concrete analytical techniques and qualitative as well as quantitative data analysis. They have robust background knowledge relevant to current international and European politics. They are able to work in teams and in an international environment. They effectively know foreign languages, they are able to put into use their advanced writing, presentation, and communication skills. They are able to use computers effectively, not only on their CV. They have the abilities – analytical as well as managerial – to take part in demanding and complex projects, and subsequently to reach mid-level or high-level positions early on in their careers. They are people who have demonstrated personal integrity, the ability to work hard, and the capability to think deep.


Our graduates work in diverse fields:

• national administrations,

• diplomacy,

• international and European institutions,

• transnational corporations or NGOs,

• media or think-tanks,

• political parties,

• academia.

Students needs to obtain at least one Exam or one classified pass from one of the language courses on offer. Alternatively, if the student obtained a B.A. or an M.A. degree taught in other foreign language, he/she may obtain credits from the course "Other languages" (for this purpose, the Slovak language is not considered a foreign language).

Language courses labelled II take place in summer semester and they always have a corresponding course labelled I as a pre-requisite. To enrol in these II-courses students either need to have fulfilled the respective pre-requiste course, or ask the vice-dean to forgive the pre-requisite. Credits obtained from the I-course (the pre-requisite) count only towards optional courses from outside of those offered by the Department.
