With global development in the world, the need for highly qualified specialists in the field of international relations and world politics is growing. The concept of "international relations" combines the study of such aspects as the position of states in the world arena, the role of international corporations, non-state businesses and international companies on a global scale. International relations affect such areas of political science as sovereignty, environmental protection, development and human rights, study the politics of individual countries.
The effectiveness of education abroad is achieved through a fruitful environment - the very life and education of students in a multinational society helps to learn cultural and national characteristics, to consider important aspects of global politics from various angles. In addition to acquiring fundamental knowledge, university students almost always get the opportunity to undergo internships, conduct their own research projects in the field of international relations, migration, human rights and global politics.
