Discover International Relations

Coventry University’s International Relations Masterclasses offer secondary school, sixth form and college students a detailed look into the complexities of global politics, designed for those curious about how countries interact, the causes of conflict, and the pursuit of peace. Led by Coventry’s expert academic staff, these masterclasses introduce students to real-world diplomatic challenges, international organizations, and pressing issues like climate change, the rise of new global superpowers, and foreign policy decisions of states. Through interactive sessions, case studies, and debates, students will develop critical skills in analysis and negotiation, equipping them to think like global leaders. Ideal for future diplomats, political scientists, and changemakers, Coventry’s masterclasses are a unique opportunity to experience university-level learning in international relations, inspiring a new generation of informed, globally minded students.
