Glendon – International Studies |
Français | Print |
This is a bilingual program that provides core and elective courses in key areas of international relations, notably the theoretical strategic, economic and cultural dimensions. The program aims to develop a systematic understanding of the problems and potentialities of international society. Students are equipped with the required analytic tools and are challenged to think constructively towards the creation of a more peaceful, humane and just world order. Due consideration is paid to the role of Canada and the francophone and anglophone cultures in this process. Particularly significant, in this era of globalization, is the program’s emphasis on a broad interdisciplinary and multicultural conception of international society. Students are also actively encouraged to acquire proficiency in several foreign languages as well as relevant international experience, through inter-university exchanges and professional internships.
