The Expertise in International Relations option prepares students for professions linked to international relations. The course includes lessons devoted to the challenges of globalization in political, diplomatic or economic matters, and offers learning methodologies that facilitate decision-making and action on an international scale.
In partnership with AMSE (Aix-Marseille School of Economics), this program, entirely taught in English, offers students the opportunity to develop their legal, diplomatic, and economic knowledge from an international perspective. It also allows them to train in data management and utilization with a specialization in “big data.” This specialization will enable students to develop essential skills in the collection, analysis, and interpretation of quantitative data. This quantitative dimension will enhance their ability to make informed decisions based on empirical data, which is particularly valuable in the fields of economics, international finance, and international relations. By combining this expertise in quantitative analysis with other components of the program, students will acquire a versatile set of skills that will prepare them for the various challenges of international expertise.
