The program is designed to enable graduates in politics or cognate disciplines to explore the many issues raised by the rapidly changing nature of the contemporary international system. It is particularly suitable for those interested in pursuing careers in areas such as government, diplomacy, business, teaching and journalism. It pays particular attention to relationships among major powers and to developments in Australia's regions. Units covering areas including international security and regional politics provide a thorough grounding in the principal theoretical approaches in international relations and the ways in which these approaches may be used to analyse issues.
