Ph.D. in International Organization is a research-based degree that investigates international organizations' roles, functions, and impact on global governance, diplomacy, and development. The program, which typically lasts 3-5 years, focuses on international relations theory, global institutions (such as the United Nations and the World Trade Organization), peace and security, human rights, environmental governance, and international law. Students do original research on issues such as the efficacy of multilateral institutions, international diplomacy, conflict resolution, global policymaking, and the role of non-state players in international affairs. Graduates work in academia, international organizations, governmental and non-governmental institutions, think tanks, and international consulting firms. Admission normally needs a Master's degree in international relations, political science, or a similar discipline, with a significant focus on research.
