In today’s interconnected world, geopolitics affects everyone—from the prices we pay at the store to the opportunities available in the job market. Understanding International Relations (IR) isn’t just for diplomats or scholars; it’s essential for anyone who wants to be an informed global citizen.

 

IR helps us make sense of international conflicts, trade agreements, climate negotiations, and global health cooperation. It plays a crucial role in shaping foreign policy, economic strategies, security frameworks, and humanitarian responses.

 

Whether you're pursuing a career in government, journalism, law, business, international development, or even technology, a strong grasp of global affairs is increasingly valuable. It enables you to think critically about world events, navigate cultural complexities, and contribute thoughtfully to discussions and decisions that have global impact.

 

At its core, studying International Relations helps us understand not just how the world works—but how we can help shape it for the better.
