Our Double MA will equip you with the knowledge and skills to explore the major issues in global politics, from different perspectives across Europe and Asia Pacific.
Our field-leading teams of Internatioanl Relations experts at both UEA and Ritsumeikan University will support you as you grapple with exciting intellectual challenges, preparing you for a successful and rewarding career on the national or international stage.
