MA/MSc in International Relations OR MPP/MPA

Graduate School
1

<p>Hi all,</p>

<p>I am an international student from Eastern Europe. I just graduated with honors in my major (political science/international relations) from an Ivy League school.</p>

<p>I want to return to Europe for grad school, but I cannot decide what grad school program to apply to. I am deciding between a MA/MSc in International Relations and a MPP/MPA. My top choice for both programs is LSE, but I’ll apply to other schools as well.</p>

<p>My ultimate career goal is to work for the European Union in the field of foreign, security and defence policy. I am more interested in implementing rather than generating policy, even though I wouldn’t mind the latter. Considering my career objective, I don’t know which degree will give me a greater edge in the job market and prepare me better for a foreign policy career.</p>

<p>Any advice/thoughts/feedback would be greatly appreciated!</p>

<p>Thanks a lot!!!</p>

<p>Howdy! If youre going toward LSE do IR. I attended Middlesex UNiversity in the UK and Texas A&M in the US. Also worked recently for the EU. LSE is reknowned and you dont want to limit yourself to policy only realms, keep it wide open where possible. Id weclome a private message if you want to talk more.</p>
