In an exciting new venture, we will be offering a Double MA in Global Governance in association with the University of Waterloo, Canada.

The degree programme will combine Waterloo’s Master of Arts in Global Governance (MAGG) programme, based at the Balsillie School of International Affairs, with the choice of one of ten Masters programmes offered by PAIS.

The programme allows students to start at Warwick or at Waterloo. On completing the two year course of study, students will receive degrees from two prestigious and internationally recognized institutions.

You can read more about this programme on our Masters pages or view the press release here.

Professor Chris Hughes, Chair of the Faculty of Social Sciences and PAIS Head of Department said:

“Offering a world-class education means ensuring that our students have the chance to tap into quality teaching and learning with our partners around the globe. Working with schools like the Balsillie School of International Affairs enables not just our students, but our staff also to widen the scope of their research. A Double Masters degree such as this will provide students with a unique education, the opportunity to study in two very different but equally innovative institutions and to maximise their exposure to a range of academic opinions.”
