What it is

The course combines economics, international relations, international law and public policy, covering legal systems, human rights, cybersecurity, macroeconomics, geopolitics and international institutions. In the second year you choose a track, either economics and finance or international relations and public policy. Learning is hands-on, through practical cases, international moot courts, model United Nations sessions and capstone modules based on a European Investment Bank project, with a compulsory semester abroad. Internships in the third and fourth years can be at international organisations such as the World Bank or UNESCO, and language electives include Spanish, French, German, Arabic and Mandarin.
