Why study the Global Bachelor’s Degree in International Relations?

In an increasingly globalized world, there are many reasons to choose a Bachelor's degree in international relations. The most important ones among them are:

To have a good knowledge of intercultural communication

The internet has made it easier to do business with people from all over the world, but what good is that connection if you don't understand each other? International relations will allow you to understand how others see the world, which may be very different from your own opinions!

Be a critical thinker

Just like intercultural communication, a degree in international relations will teach you to regularly question yourself and understand different arguments. This is a key skill for employers in the 21st century.

Employment opportunities are numerous

International relations is a very broad subject, but don't let that discourage you. It even means that you can choose the subjects that interest you and focus on them. For example, you can take a political science course for those who aspire to an international career in this field.

So the flexibility is a real advantage: you can earn a degree in international relations in almost any professional field. The skills you acquire are transferable, which leads to many career opportunities. An international relations degree can lead you down many career paths when you are ready to start your career.

International stay

Internationality forms part of the educational model at Universidad Europea de Valencia, in accordance with the philosophy of the European Higher Education Area and in line with the demands of today’s society, which has undergone significant changes due to globalisation and internationalisation. These two phenomena require any future university graduates to be able to work in multicultural environments with respect for and adaptability to the social conventions of other cultures. To this end, the international exchange becomes a complementary curricular element in a student’s educational path. This experience provides them with greater autonomy and maturity in regard to coping in new environments, and develops their critical capacity as they are able to establish comparisons between different social systems, as well as multiculturalism and tolerance. The international experience helps our students create an international social network, in turn providing them with greater possibilities for professional development, while also improving their communication skills in foreign languages.

Universidad Europea de Valencia has agreements with a wide network of universities offering bachelor's, master’s and doctoral degrees in various fields. Many of the institutions are leaders in higher education in their respective regions, countries and subject areas. They have also been recognized internationally for their academic quality.

You might be interested in studying a double degree

Internships are a key component of your training. Acquiring experience after what you have learnt in your degree programme is the best way to enter the employment market. There are two types of internships: curricular—which are included in your study plan—and extracurricular—which you can do on a voluntary basis.

In order to complete curricular internships in companies, you will need to have 50% of the credits approved and to register the subject before starting your internship. These internships are monitored by the company and the internship coordinator, and they are evaluated by midterm and final reports.

If you want to take your work experience to the next level before finishing your university education, you can pursue an extracurricular internship. You can do them in any academic year, but keep in mind that internships are a formative complement to your studies; therefore, the more knowledge you have acquired throughout your studies, the more you will benefit from the internship experience.
