About the MPhil/PhD programme

This programme offers you the chance to be part of one of the world's leading departments in the study of international relations while you undertake a substantial piece of work that is worthy of publication and which makes an original contribution to international relations. You will begin on the MPhil and be upgraded to PhD status after passing a research panel within 18 months of initial registration.

The Department is organised around four Research Clusters: International Institutions, Law and Ethics ; Theory/Area/History ; International Political Economy ; and Statecraft and Security . You will belong to at least one of these clusters during your studies and attend its weekly events. You will also have the chance to participate in the editing of a student-run journal Millennium: Journal of International Studies , which has a major role in the discipline.

The Department has particular strengths in international relations theory, security studies, international political economy, and European studies. As well as Europe, its specialist areas cover Russia, Central, Northeast and Southeast Asia, the USA, South America, the Middle East and Africa. Other areas of research strength include foreign policy analysis, nationalism, religion, historical sociology, international environmental politics and strategic and war studies. Many individuals contribute to more than one of these subjects, and there is interdisciplinary work with colleagues in the Departments of Government and International History, as well as through the many research centres at the School.

Why Earn a BSc International Relations?

State actors aren’t the only employers navigating their roles in a changing world. In PricewaterhouseCoopers’ 2020 global survey of more than 3,500 CEOs, more than a third of respondents identified geopolitical uncertainty, trade conflicts and policy uncertainty as major threats. 2

If you study international relations, you will gain a rich understanding of these concepts, as well as highly transferable professional skills. You can help bridge cultural gaps and address complex problems; develop balanced judgements that assimilate diverse information sources; and communicate your ideas with confidence and clarity.

Some graduates pursue careers in areas like diplomacy, government or consulting; others move on to master’s programmes or apply their skills in the private sector. With a BSc International Relations, you can consider careers within a range of industries and sectors. Possible employers include:

• Multilateral and intergovernmental organisations
• Non-government organisations (NGOs)
• Banking and accounting services
• Local and national governments
• Educational institutions
• Media and publishing companies
• Consulting firms

Attending an in-person MBA offers a dynamic learning experience filled with opportunities to gain access to valuable resources, travel, network, and more. Read on as we list five key benefits associated with attending Chicago Booth’s in-person MBA Programs .

Experience Hands-On Learning

Our in-person learning format offers the opportunity for students to tackle experiential learning opportunities during their time at Booth. Students in our Full-Time and Part-Time MBA Programs can tackle real-world business challenges through experiential learning (lab) courses. These courses cover a wide range of industries from entrepreneurship and digital marketing to private equity/venture capital and leadership. Interested in seeing what lab courses we offer? Click here for more information – select “lab” under course type for the full list of course offerings available for the given quarter. The collaborative environment at Booth is also fostered by the face-to-face interactions that take place in the classroom. Having the ability to effectively work within a team is an important skill to have in a complex business world. With that in mind, Booth places great emphasis on collaborative learning. Working in teams on group projects is a great way to meet people from different backgrounds, share insights, and learn from one another. Being in-person to foster the relationships formed with classmates not only provides a space where people can give their undivided attention but also helps create a supportive environment for growth, collaboration, and networking. Click here  to learn more about the classroom experience at Booth.

Gain Access to Valuable Resources on Campus

By attending Chicago Booth’s in-person MBA Program, students have direct access to campus resources ranging from campus facilities and quiet workspaces to career services and research centers. Having access to these resources offers an enriching experience for personal and professional development during the MBA. At Chicago Booth specifically, a great deal of students take advantage of the opportunities available within our industry-focused Research Centers. At the moment, we have 13 research centers, including these favorites among students... The Polsky Center for Entrepreneurship and Innovation  hosts a popular phenomenon called the New Venture Challenge every year. Known as the University of Chicago’s signature startup accelerator, students across UChicago come together to present their startup ideas in front of investors in hopes of receiving funding to take their startups to the next level – the New Venture Challenge invests over $1 million in startups each year. The Rustandy Center for Social Sector Innovation  is a great space for individuals interested in social impact to get involved. Through different programs, mentorship opportunities, research, and event happenings, the Rustandy Center is able to help assist the community in solving complex social and environmental problems. The Kilts Center  is the ideal resource for those interested in all things marketing. From tech product management to product marketing management, brand management, and general management, the center offers resources to build upon your marketing skills, from the moment you step foot on campus. Lastly, the Center for Applied Artificial Intelligence  is your go-to for examination and discussion of machine learning and AI-related technologies. At the center, they host various events and programming geared towards exploring the intersection of AI and society in relation to business. Our in-person MBA Program offers the opportunity for students to explore their interests through different case competitions, challenges, volunteering opportunities, events, and more throughout their time at Booth. Click here  to learn more about the research centers at Chicago Booth.

Travel Across the Globe with Your Fellow Classmates

Traveling around the world is a highly sought after experience many students seek out during their time at Chicago Booth. Every year, Booth has both industry-focused and socially-driven trips for students to participate in. When highlighting their MBA experience, many students mention their travel experience – from professional treks to destinations like Texas to immersing themselves in the culture internationally at locations like Tanzania and Peru , the opportunities are endless! While traveling might still be feasible with an online MBA program, the connections formed in person and information shared solely from being in the same room as your peers is invaluable. Wondering what trips Boothies enjoy most during their MBA experience? Click here  to gather more intel directly from our current students and recent graduates.

Build Upon Your Professional Network In and Outside of the Classroom

There’s no question that an in-person MBA program provides the opportunity to connect with classmates, professors, alumni, and industry professionals in real-time. Attending an in-person MBA program increases your chances of connecting with more individuals that you might not encounter otherwise. Aside from meeting new people in the classroom, at Booth, many students attribute forming lifelong connections to their involvement outside of the classroom. Our Full-Time  and Part-Time  student groups provide a robust experience to meet other students with similar interests! We have professional, cultural, leadership, social, special interest, and sports groups available – there’s truly something for everyone. Furthermore, the in-person event offerings lead many Boothies to bond over shared interests, all while meeting new potential friends and creating memorable experiences with one another. Read sentiments about the Full-Time  and Part-Time  student-group experience directly from current students and recent graduates.

Get Involved with the Chicago Booth Community

There’s no question that the MBA experience is a time to meet new people, make new friends, and immerse yourself in the social experiences that come with being an MBA student. From the start of LEAD orientation  to long after graduation, at Chicago Booth building community and fostering a space where Boothies feel inspired, lively, and supported is of the utmost importance. Building community is an essential part of the MBA experience that happens organically when attending an in-person MBA experience. From meeting students on the way to class, to going on a Random Walk trip, or mingling at the Harper or Gleacher Center during a student group event – there’s always room to connect with more students and make the MBA experience more eventful. Interested in learning more about the social experience at Booth? Check out TheBoothExperience blog and Instagram to get firsthand insight from students on their experience at Chicago Booth.

If you are curious about fully immersing yourself in the MBA experience both in and outside of the classroom, Chicago Booth’s MBA program is for you! We encourage you to look into our Full-Time  and Part-Time  MBA programs to get an idea of what program best suits you and your lifestyle.
