MSc in International Relations of the Middle East
New in 2011
Application deadline for 2012 entry is 15th July 2012
Welcome from the Director!
Welcome to the IRME website! As one of the most important regions of the world, the Middle East attracts the attention of journalists, politicians and the general public. The politics of Islam, oil, the Arab-Israeli conflict, Iran and the Iraq war continue to raise interesting questions on the Middle East and on its place in the global world order. In the University of Edinburgh, we draw on the research strengths of the departments Politics and International Relations and Islamic and Middle Eastern Studies to offer students a unique opportunity to study the international relations of the Middle East.
Our newly developed programme offers an advanced theoretical and empirical understanding of the international relations of the Middle East, exploring and applying several theoretical models (Realism, Constructivism, Historical Sociology and Structuralism). Students will obtain an in-depth understanding of the main historical events, processes and actors that have shaped and continue to shape the political dynamics of the Middle East.
If you would like to know more about IRME, please have a look through our on-line information of the programme and feel free to get in touch with me if you have any queries.
I look forward to hearing from you!
