Program Description

The B.A. in International Relations: Global Affairs program at Anglo-American University is delivered by a faculty of experts from all over the world that bring years of professional experience to the classroom. This program enables students to fully experience the cultural dynamism of Central Europe. Students can expect to gain a solid background in international relations and political theory, history, philosophy, nationalism, or security.

This concentration is an answer to the trends pertaining to globalization of Western societies; the curriculum transcends disciplines and offers and the interplay of courses in global governance, East-West relations, democracy, religion, and security.

Upon completion, our students acquire the ability to critically examine and address the international/intercultural challenges of our time, such as global inequalities, economic dependency, conflict and security, or globalization including the evolving roles of organizations such as the United Nations, NATO and the European Union.

Beyond the classroom you can join student clubs like Diplomacy or Model UN, practice your debate skills at a faculty-student debate or discuss current political issues with professors and local experts at an event like ‘Professors in the Pub’.
