Who should consider studying in International Relations in English program?

English has become the international language of IR and is now a sine qua non for making scholarly contributions. Studying International relations requires a firm grasp of the current literature, most which is available only in English. No IR specialist can succeed without the ability to write in English clearly and engagingly. Many students have realized that trying to master English as an entirely separate endeavor is no longer a viable strategy. In addition, the ongoing transition and democratization in Eastern and Central Europe is of key significance to the field of International Relations. Thus studying IR in English and at LAIS is a great strategy.

Program focus

Key social, economic and political problems must now be seen at a trans-national level rather than at the level of an individual state. Accordingly, as a discipline of social sciences IR has become one of the fastest growing and one of the most exciting fields of studies. Our International Relations Program is interdisciplinary while focusing on the role of "New Europe" in the new world order.

The program emphasizes combining theory of the basic disciplines of international relations with a strong pragmatic focus. Our intention is to offer students a non-traditional curriculum allowing them to understand contemporary international relations. A considerable portion of the IR program is devoted to developing practical debating and negotiation skills. While at school, students acquire a sound knowledge of fundamental IR theories and a rigorous training on applying IR practices in various professional settings, particularly in government and business.

"iplomat workshops" and "business workshops" are an integral part of the teaching process. These are discussions held between the students and many important politicians, diplomats and businessmen.

Foreign languages are a very important issue at WSSM. Our students have the possibility of obtaining a good command of a foreign language, either by taking up a second major (philology) or through obligatory classes in the international relations department. Students can attend English philology, German Philology, Spanish Philology and Russian Philology, which offer training in the language of politics, administration and business.

LAIS students take up their practices in many prestigious institutions: The Chancellary of the President of Poland, Foreign Office and other ministries, embassies and local government. We also strive to fulfill this aspect of student practice with our foreign partners. The purpose being that our students could take up their practice in foreign companies or administration institutions which operate within the realm of EU law.
