Galatasaray University

International Relations Non-Thesis Master's Degree

This program aims to increase the ability of students from international relations or other disciplines to analyze developments at the systemic, global, national, local and individual levels and to make predictions for the future. Thanks to courses focused on history, sociology, law, economy, politics and the region, students are also offered the opportunity to develop themselves according to their special interests and goals. Graduates of this program, in parallel with coming from different fields and disciplines, have the chance to gain a place and rise in different business lines. In this sense, government institutions, media, international organizations, NGOs and the private sector are undoubtedly in the first place.

This program has been created based on the characteristics we want our students to gain. In this framework, the program tries to offer students as wide a range as possible in terms of equipment, beyond the education for the discipline of International Relations. It is also considered important to reach the goal that all courses are compulsory instead of elective courses. This program, in accordance with its name and objectives, was created by examining the programs of distinguished universities and research centers in the world and in Turkey.
