MA in International Relations
Hello, I'm a graduate with a 2:1 degree in International Politics at LSBU. I'm thinking about doing MA in International Relations at Queen Mary university.
I want to know is it worth it? In my field I mean, would It improve my employment chances?

Firstly within the IR field masters are only needed in certain cases- largely if you want to work for NATO or the UN (along with a second language) or a think tank. To be a diplomat in the civil service then no it won't make a difference along with other general grad schemes.
Secondly will you actually cover knew things if you go from a BA in International Politics to an MA in IR? They are largely quite similar.
