NMBU · Master, 2-årig
Opptaksreglene endres fra 2027: tilleggspoeng for høyere utdanning, fremmedspråk, kjønn og folkehøgskole fjernes. Historiske poenggrenser er derfor ikke direkte sammenlignbare med framtidige opptak.
Noen studier — blant annet ved private høyskoler, Politihøgskolen og Forsvaret — har egen søknadsvei utenom Samordna opptak. Sjekk alltid NMBU egne sider for detaljene.

Students in the Master’s program in International Relations develop the ability to analyze, explain, and understand contemporary events and processes in the world. Learning to apply diverse theoretical perspectives is a core competence trained in compulsory theory courses. Our teaching philosophy is rooted in research-based learning, ensuring that students engage with cutting-edge scholarship.
Beyond traditional lectures, classes include interactive activities that encourage academic discussion, critical thinking, and problem-solving. These may involve group projects, problem-based learning, and individual writing assignments, complemented by guest lectures from experts in the field. Outside the classroom, students gain practical experience through field trips, internships, and opportunities to participate in ongoing research projects.
International relations deepens the understanding of the political nature of why and how bilateral and multilateral institutions promote certain development policies spatially and temporally.
The programme gives a theoretical understanding of international interaction and relevant fields such as environment, development and poverty.
The programme aims to increase the practical understanding of international interaction through placement schemes both in organizations and other universities, particularly universities abroad.
The first year consists of course work covering natural and social issues, research methodology plus elective subjects. Students may do their research in any parts of the world.
Students will write their thesis in the final spring semester at NMBU
NStudents can go on exchange to one of our partner universities and take courses there in the third semester. Some possible exchange destinations for M-IR students:
