Politics and IR master's degrees in Europe range from research-oriented programs (building toward a PhD or academic career) to professional programs (preparing for careers in diplomacy, policy, and public administration). The distinction is important: a research master's produces a rigorous thesis; a professional master's produces policy documents, case analyzes, and practical skills. The College of Europe (Bruges and Warsaw) is the most prestigious dedicated European affairs program. Sciences Po Paris, the LSE, and Maastricht University offer internationally recognized IR and political science programs.
