What are the career opportunities for a graduate of International Relations?


Although, what comes to mind first is a career as an Ambassador, minus that please, suggestions needed.

Dammyoni18: What are the career opportunities for a graduate of International Relations?


Although, what comes to mind first is a career as an Ambassador, minus that please, suggestions needed.

There are so many options. Embassy, Ministry of Internal Affairs, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Consulting Firm, University{Lecturer}, Multi-national agencies and companies as their International Relations Director or Personnel, also agencies like the United Nations, Unesco, Unicef, World Bank etc.

International Relations is a very viable career course with incredible opportunities.

The only prequisite to a successful career in this course is you being extremely good in what you do. Be a good communicator and constantly work on your inter-personal skills, learn and master other languages and cultures and be a good traveller. Then even the sky won't be your limit.


All the best.

I am a graduate of international relations and history. The fact is that I love this course because of the reasons someone enumerated above. But to my surprise, since after one year of NYSC, I am yet to find something doing for a living. All efforts to secure internship in some organizations and church group like JDPC proved abortive as they kept on telling me to drop my cv that they I'll call me. Now I want you brethren to help me suggest wat to do in ds dire situation. Is there the possibility of interning in any African country even if I I'll not be paid but I'll be fed and transported? At least I I'll v gotten a practical side of my discipline. Or are there international masters grants for this course that I can apply for with a cgpa of 4.49? Sometimes I feel am under one kind spiritual influence for staying idle since last year. Please your suggestions I'll be highly appreciated.

Nice cgpa you've got there. What career path are you looking at exactly? Ambassador or what? You have to be clear about that so people can suggest a way out for you

I think you should focus more on a career in multinationals. It will really help. Have you tried any of the big 4??

Government jobs are mostly based on connections. The big 4 are multinationals that require a minimum of 2.1 and since you have that, you can apply . Heard Kpmg is currently recruiting now.

By the way, I'm a lady.
