Introduction
The 21st-century world is governed by regional and global geopolitical issues. Economic leverage increasingly plays a dominant role in the way states interact. Diplomacy and international economics are thus quickly merging into a single concept, and it is upon this new foundation that government, business, and international organizations will communicate in the new era. For these reasons, the Department of International Relations at UNYP offers a modern curriculum that combines the study of economics and international politics.

Program Outcome
Our program focuses on providing students with a strong foundation in political, economic, and international relations theory.
The goal of this program is to prepare students to think theoretically and analytically about politics and economics in today’s world while using modern technology and ethical thinking to solve problems in a multicultural environment.
Career Value
UNYP graduates are highly successful in securing professional positions in both the state sector (international organizations, government and non-governmental organizations) and the international business world (managerial positions in corporations with a strong international orientation).
Moreover, many are pursuing graduate degrees in the EU and USA. Alumni feedback indicates a high degree of satisfaction with the program, and students repeatedly indicate that the emphasis on oral and written communication skills, and on critical analysis training, have been instrumental in finding and retaining employment.
Unique to the program is the interactive and dynamic teaching style of the faculty. Our professors are recruited from the USA and the EU, and hold advanced degrees in their fields.
Finally, the IR Bachelor’s Degree is a perfect stepping stone to graduate studies. Many of our graduates have continued their studies at prestigious universities such as the London School of Economics, Johns Hopkins University and the University of Cambridge. Degrees This degree is awarded by the State University of New York Empire State University.
Students can also sit for Czech state exams at the end of their studies, and receive a degree from UNYP (bakalář - Bc.) accredited by the Czech Ministry of Education. This is a unique advantage open to UNYP students, who can graduate with two distinct academic titles, one from the USA and one from the EU, and therefore have opportunities to work all over the world.
