Understanding the stakes of international trade, anticipating the risks of tomorrow.
With the emergence of new production centres, decision-making hubs and communication routes, the world’s political, economic and cultural landscape is undergoing profound change. So-called ‘developing’ countries are now asserting themselves as significant players in international dialogue, within complex dynamics that combine cooperation, rivalry, tension, and conflict. These changes are profoundly reshaping North-South and South-South relations, heralding a lasting reconfiguration of the global balance of power.
In this context, current international geopolitical affairs are at a turning point in terms of energy, trade, and financial flows, giving rise to new strategic alliances and risks. To analyse and comprehend these developments, and train experts able to anticipate and manage these challenges, faculty members at FLSH, in partnership with members of the French Foreign Trade Advisors (CCEF), have designed the Master’s degree in International Relations and Risk Management. Affiliation with a think tank involving the CCEF and the Emerging Worlds Research Chair (CReME) provides solid grounding in both academic research and operational expertise.
This comprehensive degree programme combines theoretical and practical approaches to international relations, international management, and risk management. It enables students to acquire key skills in country risk analysis, international contracts, data protection, marketing, and international negotiation, as well as intercultural intelligence.
The Master’s degree in International Relations and Risk Management prepares students for careers in international expertise, consulting, risk management, data protection, and strategic analysis.
Teaching is delivered entirely in English, and a B2-C1 level in English is required to enrol in the Master’s programme. Fixed fee: €9,800 per year.
