Offered continuously since 2003, it is a university master\u2019s degree, meaning it is an official programme, which implies that it is recognised throughout Spain and within the European Higher Education Area (EHEA). Since 2019, it has topped the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.elmundo.es\/especiales\/mejores-masters\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">El Mundo<\/a> newspaper\u2019s ranking as the best master\u2019s programme in international relations.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The aim of this master\u2019s degree is to provide students with specialist training in the functioning and development of international relations, underpinned by a solid academic foundation and with a focus on career prospects. The range of modules enables students to gain a deeper knowledge and understanding of the political, economic, legal and cultural relations of our time, from a multidisciplinary perspective. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Master\u2019s programme offers specialised training to graduates from a range of degree programmes who wish to pursue a professional career in fields and roles with an international dimension (international journalism and analysis, diplomacy and international organisations, consultancy and international trade, development cooperation, etc.), in both the public and private sectors. The programme also enables students to develop a specialisation that could subsequently be pursued in an academic context. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Typically, a high proportion of the students are international, hailing from more than forty countries to date. This, combined with the international teaching staff and the bilingual nature of the programme, ensures immersion in an international environment.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons mt-xxl is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button large primary\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/info.uspceu.com\/estudiar-universidad\/masters\/relaciones-internacionales\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Further information and admissions<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns alignfull py-xxxl bg-layout-grey mb-none is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns alignwide is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading with-arrow fz-h3\"><strong>Contact<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>D. \u00c1lvaro Silva Soto<\/strong><br\/>Director of the Master\u2019s Degree in International Relations<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>D\u00aa Alexandra Dumintrascu<\/strong><br\/>Coordinator of the Master\u2019s Degree in International Relations<br\/><a href=\"mailto:alexandra.dumitrascu@ceu.es\">alexandra.dumitrascu@ceu.es<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Secretariat of the Royal University Institute of European Studies.<br\/><a href=\"mailto:idee@ceu.es\">idee@ceu.es<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Master&#8217;s Programme Information The globalisation of politics and the economy, together with the development of regional integration processes, mean that a national perspective is no longer sufficient to understand the realities of the 21st century.
