Things all IR students should know: 1 - Lots of history classes. 2 - You need to know (several) languages. The more, the better. 3 - The number of essays you have to do. Info in mass media is always distorted, have to double-check everything. 3.1 - Have to conclude, analyse, and provide insight into everything you write. 4 - You need to be well-rounded and holistic in the work you do: Economics, history, politics, law... international relations isn't a thing, it's essentially just combination of many other subjects. 4.1 - This has pros and cons... it means you won't have enough expertise in any of those areas to apply for one of those specific jobs, at least not without further study. 5 - Future job opportunities are made difficult by how broad & unspecific IR is. You have to do a masters, almost definitely in something more specific, because a bachelors in IR just isn't enough of a qualification. More time studying, more time spending on education, etc

To be honest, the degree is what you make of it. You don’t need a Master’s to get a job (unless you really want to work in IR). Just make sure to have internships and to network during your studies. Ofc if you just expect opportunities to fall on your lap without putting in the work, that’s not gonna happen.
@apollomacaroni3 жыл бұрын
I think the main thing to consider when studying IR (as someone who is applying to study this and keep in mind I'm listing multiple ways to go about this): 1. Incorporate other skills you already have. What I mean by this is, I have skills in graphic design, photography, video/podcast editing, production, writing, and I have done real work for people and have a portfolio. Making a portfolio with your best school papers, designing your own website, or just doing something out of the box can get you noticed. Using skills you have in combination with IR will take you farther. 2. Have a minor or double major in something with hard skills like a language, business, computer science, etc. 3. International relations is a combination of a bunch of subjects: economics, law, politics, history, languages, etc. Think about the different things that encompass IR and choose which one you like the best. If it's law, for example, go seek out legal internships, jobs, etc in the future. 4. Pick a region of the world like Eastern Europe for example and learn everything you can about it. Pick one language from the region and start learning it. 5. Learn languages, there's not a certain number, but language learning is so important. I think many people (no matter what degree they get) go in it without a plan or idea of what they want. I'm not saying you have to make a 5 year plan detailing every step, but just taking the time to think about your interests and developing those is so important. At the end of the day, no matter your major, it's hard to find a job, but the more skills you pick up the more likely you can get a job (even if it's just to hold you over until you get your dream job). If you have aspirations to work at the UN or in the government that's fantastic, but also understand that there are so many other options. You can also have both. I know people who worked a job for 10 years and then finally went to college for the first time and used their degree well, and I know others who got their university degree straight out of high school and got a job using that degree, and 6 years later they changed their line of work to something completely unrelated to their major. What I'm trying to say is no matter what you choose in life things will happen. You have to make intentional choices about the jobs you take and although I don't agree with all points of the book, The Defining Decade is a book to read, if you want to look more into what I'm talking about. Well, rant over, I hope you all find yourself employed and in good spirits in these times. :)

As a first time IR student, worse, in Masters Degree (1st year also), I have to say I really like this. I can see some things you mentioned in the video, for example, i've noticed that some subjects seem to be very demanding, especially in terms of research/essays, history, economy and TIME. Especially for someone who comes from the languages field (my bachelors), I feel overwhelmed sometimes. Also, you see very different types of students: people from IR bachelors, people who already traveled the world, people who have been in higher places or represented their country.. I feel like I'm in disadvantage, and years behind. Not gonna lie and say, "Oh the name didnt meant anything for me, I wasn't dreaming about my future job", 'cause that's a lie. I have to say the name sounded appealing to me at first, "International Relations"..Ah, sounds like heaven. However, I also realized that I wanted this before. I'm a very curious person, and I want to know more about the world, conflicts and foreign policy. After all, this may sound like it's rocket science, or , can even be 'rocket science', but I like this and it's about the world we live in, and I want to understand it. PS: If anyone knows resourceful channels for IR in youtube, or good websites, anything, I will appreciate it :)

Here we have more of an emphasis on theory and contemporary events. I also minor in political science and getting a certificate in national security studies and I’m having a blast! Lots and lost of writing, but rooted in original analysis and your thought process. I’ve taken an international political economy class but I just had to deal with economics once!

I want to study international Relationship and when I tell my parents about this, one thing they only worries is "can you find a job with this degree". and after taking a deep thought, I have gone college to learn different things and the first time ever, I go out and get a job since after graduate from secondary. Actually, I do have concerns can I finish this degree especially after i feel really deep that I need a break after gone through secondary school. and so I decided to make a wishing list of what i want to learn to explore, and in the meantime, i also found myself know less about society that connect with the real world, even thought i love reading and history books, but at the end of the day, I found it was not enough to fulfil my curious of the world. But getting out of the school is like, there is a world that I never seen and there is like more things should explore become go into learning this degree. after three years til now, my life change a lot (that destiny..). I live in another country now and starting a new life without knowing anything about the land, and now all in my head, is tried to make a living first before anything I want to do. I still read books related to literally EveryThing, haha. from economic to politic and laws, from history to literature that affecting how people think in this world. I still love reading tho. but still, i do have doubt from time to time whether should I do this degree earlier or not. although I like to learning something like this, but I'm thinking about.. when you start to have you business and then start you own life, and there is billsssss to pay lol. I'm just wonder. wondering, it is the right decision I made for myself, when you take things into account, like money and time, and the will that you are able to finish the course. But anyway, I will still try to move on but for those who gone so lost like me figuring what to do in the future and to Make A Living. I don't want this to be a options that I can only choose either one (either do things you like but you hard to find a job, or you can find a job but the thing you are studying is not what you want) because i can't do it both things at the same time. (like maintain your living while you are also working and studying in the same time. so...I hope people, who might going though these kind of thinking, hope it helps and I don't know.. but just feels like want talk about this a bit.

I have a question Can I become a history teacher or historian if I study International Relations? I love History so much but in my city there are no history degrees to study, only Bachelor of IR and I think this might be related to History. Thanks in advance
