The Master in International Relations Management is an innovative postgraduate program deriving from ASERI’s 12-years of experience in the field of education and training in International Relations.
The MIRM focuses on a comprehensive concept of international relations, considering not only inter-states and inter-governamental relationships but also the complex multifaceted networks of businesses, non governmental organizations, regional institutions, and universities, acting on a global level.
The Program aims at training outstanding young graduates from different disciplines who aspire to work as global managers in the field of international relations – both in the private and the public sector – within companies, institutions, chambers of commerce, NGOs, and other organizations.
The MIRM offers a high-level education and professional training in international economics, finance, politics, and law, including those management skills and analytical tools indispensable for a successful career in a constantly changing international milieu.
The Master also provides a well-balanced combination of theory and practice, by focusing on the emerging political-economic issues of the international system: trade, finance, security, information and communication technology and global networks, energy and environment.
The privileged partnership with important academicians from different countries and leading professionals from multinational companies, international institutions, and non-governmental organizations will allow students to take
part in team projects and individual internships. English is the language of instruction of the Master.
The Master’s Degree (Level I) will be granted by Università Cattolica after the achievement of 60 credits gained through the attendance to all the Master activities and the positive results in the examinations taken.
The MIRM begins the next January 2009 at the ASERI campus in Milan.
