Global Affairs Masters at IE: Discover Your Programme Fit

For candidates based in Europe & Central Asia exploring IE master’s programmes

Choosing a master’s in global affairs is more than selecting an academic path—it’s choosing how you want to understand the world, influence decision-making and contribute to solving global challenges. With multiple fields intersecting across diplomacy, development and technology, the key question isn't what you can study, but which programme truly aligns with the impact you want to make.

This session goes beyond a traditional informative webinar. It is a decision-making session designed to help you identify whether IE’s Master in International Relations, Master in International Development, Master in Public Policy, or Master in Technology & Global Affairs is the right next step for your ambitions.

What this session will help you understand:

• What differentiates these programmes from those offered elsewhere: an interdisciplinary approach, a focus on real-world problem-solving and strong ties to global institutions, NGOs and multilateral organisations

• A clear view of the unique strengths of each programme, whether you are drawn to diplomacy, development, impact-oriented work or the intersection of technology and geopolitics

• How students engage in hands-on experiences, including consulting projects, policy labs, simulations, fieldwork and collaborations with international organisations

• Insight into the profiles that thrive in each master’s, helping you determine the best fit for your goals

• How industry and policy relevance is ensured through faculty experts, institutional partnerships and programme advisory groups

• Direct access to the programme directors, who will join the session to share their perspectives and answer your questions live

• Real examples of career pathways across multilateral organisations, NGOs, government agencies, think tanks, development consulting, impact organisations and tech-governance roles

If you’re looking for more than general information—and instead want the clarity to make a confident, strategic decision about your future in global affairs—this session will give you exactly that.

Join us to discover which programme is the right step toward the global career you want to build.
