Online Courses in International Relations & War MA vs. International Affairs MA

Hi everyone!

I’m an international student planning to study in the UK next year in a Business-related field. However, I’ve always been deeply interested in Politics and History, so I’m exploring the possibility of pursuing an online master’s degree alongside my studies.

I’ve come across two online programs offered by King’s College London:
- International Relations & War M
- International Affairs MA (PGDip/PGCert)

Here’s what I’ve noticed so far:
- The International Affairs program is more flexible, offering PGCert and PGDip awards, which can later be upgraded to a master’s degree if desired. It also seems more cost-effective.
- The International Relations & War MA only offers a master’s award but includes a chance to spend one semester in London, which is exciting!

I’d appreciate any insights or advice to help me make an informed decision. Thanks in advance!!
