Master of International Politics

The Master of International Politics (MIP) program is a professional program open to students with degrees in any subject (not just political science or its equivalents). It also makes allowance for professional work already done in the discipline. It can be undertaken by coursework alone, or by coursework and a minor thesis, and fulltime or part-time. The Master of International Politics program can be done as a stand alone degree. Or it can be done as a way to access further postgraduate study at any university in the world (e.g. to do a PhD degree)
