International Relations

The International Relations program at Webster University Vienna prepares students for leadership and service in the international diplomatic, professional, and academic communities. Led by a team of internationally recognized researchers, lecturers, and scholar-practitioners, students examine great powers politics, humanitarian issues, and the dynamics of the international political economy, learning how to employ competing theories, methods, and approaches.
The international nature of the faculty and student body enriches students' on-campus academic experience while exposing them to one of the world's premier centers of international activity; home to the UN, UNIDO, IAEA, and the OSCE where many Webster International Relations graduates go on to work. Our graduates are regularly admitted into prestigious post-graduate programs at Oxford, Cambridge, Columbia, John Hopkins, Georgetown and the London School of Economics. Many of our graduates go on to top careers in politics, international business, and NGOs; and an increasing number are going on to successful completion of Ph.D. programs in Europe and the United States.
