Master of Arts in German and International Relations

Program Overview

German and International Relations at Aberdeen puts you at the forefront of the contemporary debate on world events. You will gain highly-developed skills in a modern European language and culture, adding value to a broad exploration of our complex international world and the developments which are making history today. You will graduate ideally prepared for a wide range of careers in politics, media, local and national government, NGOs and many other fields.

You will gain a solid grounding in the German language whatever your level, in a programme with the highest possible rating of ‘Excellent’ in the last national Teaching Quality Assessment.

You will also develop a broad understanding of culture in the German-speaking world, with courses in social, historical and cultural aspects of these countries, and encounter the world of German artistic expression in the form of literature, film and art, together with a deeper understanding of Germany’s complex history.

As an integral part of your 4-year programme, you will spend half of year three developing your language skills as a teaching assistant or visiting student in a German-speaking country.

International Relations will set this further in context, looking closely at how nations and organisations interact and global wealth, poverty and inequality.

You will study regional and international tensions, nationalism, concepts of democracy – and ever-present concerns of conflict and peace.

You will be taught by internationally renowned academics with strong track records in publishing international papers and articles and who appear regularly in the media, analysing and explaining national, European and world developments from the viewpoint of their own area of expertise and research.

You will gain the perfect foundation for international career possibilities including international business, NGOs and international development, plus local and national government, politics and journalism, with transferable skills including critical analysis and communication ideally suited to a range of careers.
