Introduction to international relations:

The undergraduate major is international relations. At present, the undergraduate education of international relations in China is awarded with a bachelor of law degree. The curriculum will involve history and politics, with emphasis on the study of political system and the comparison between Chinese and western political systems. Correspondingly, there will also be some specific courses, such as American foreign policy studies, which depends on the actual teachers in each school.

Origin:

In a sense, when a country appears, there are international relations. However, the study of ancient international relations did not form a discipline, mainly scattered in some parts of classical politics, history and philosophy. For example, the history of the Peloponnesian War and China's ancient Warring States policy.

It was not until the 20th century that international relations became an independent discipline. 19 19 The establishment of the first chair of international relations in the University of Wales, England, is generally considered as a symbol of the establishment of the discipline of international relations.

But it wasn't until 1970s that it had a decent outline that could be called a discipline, and scholars of international relations began to show obvious similarities in theoretical system, main concepts, research methods and main research objects.

Today, international relations can't be regarded as a relatively mature social science, but judging from the large number of professional institutions, academic journals and even current affairs newspapers that have emerged in reality, international relations has become a highly independent discipline.

Employment prospects:

Employment prospects: Students majoring in international relations can master more comprehensive knowledge because of the wide coverage of their studies. Unlike some language majors who only master a single language skill, they can also adapt to the work in many industries, such as foreign affairs reception and administration.

Most students have joined various government agencies, so it is inevitable to talk about the relative advantages of this major among civil servants.
