Students who study international affairs develop understanding about contemporary global issues as well as in-depth knowledge of a chosen region or policy issue. Programs may focus on the diplomacy, culture and economics of a particular country or in a general sense.

Available at universities around the world, a PhD degree is an excellent choice for students who wish to pursue a career in academia or research. This type of degree is the highest qualification available in many fields and requires a great deal of study to obtain.

Part time learning allows one to obtain part-time degrees even if one cannot attend school on a full-time basis. One can learn at his or own pace, gradually accumulating credits which count towards final qualification.
