Virtual learning allows you to earn a top-quality qualification entirely online
The popularity of virtual learning has skyrocketed in the last two decades, with an incredible growth rate of more than 900% since 2000. However, despite its undeniable presence in the education landscape, online learning is an option that is not well-understood by all prospective students, with many not realising just how many of their career goals it could help them meet.
For instance, students interested in a career in international relations may know that a Postgraduate Diploma (PGDip) programme is a great way to gain high-level knowledge of the subject relatively quickly. However, they may be unaware that top-quality programmes of this kind at well-ranked institutions can be completed entirely online.
At QMUL Online, we offer our International Relations PGDip programme in a convenient virtual learning format that allows students from all over the globe to experience a world-class international relations education. Keep reading to find out why virtual learning is the best way for you to complete your PGDip in International Relations.
An Online International Relations PGDip Lets You Avoid Career Disruption
Returning to university after completing your undergraduate studies can be challenging for a number of reasons, the most pressing one being the impact it will have on your career. If you are currently in a position that you hope will serve as a stepping stone to your international relations aspirations, or if you are paying off your last degree, the prospect of taking a significant amount of time away from the workforce might seem like an insurmountable barrier between you and your further studies.
However, QMUL Online’s PGDip allows students to complete their studies over the course of two years through a virtual, independent study format. This lets you build your study schedule around your life – not the other way around – and avoid the hassle of relocating or commuting to and from a university campus.

Access a Global International Relations University Community Online
In a discipline like international relations, the ability to draw from diverse perspectives in your work is critical. A virtual learning environment makes it even easier for a global cohort of students to come together to learn, discuss, and share ideas, adding another international dimension to the PGDip course.
Through a mix of discussion forums, group webinars, and online tutorials, the online International Relations PGDip programme puts students in conversation with one another, as well as with their tutors, to develop well-informed and nuanced perspectives on international relations course material. This means that studying online does not have to come at the cost of student engagement – rather, it allows you to engage more flexibly with a more diverse group of classmates, increasing the depth of your learning and connecting you to an international network of motivated and ambitious peers.
Get the Same Quality of Instruction and Assessment as Students on Campus
QMUL Online’s PGDip programme is led by the top research faculty at Queen Mary University of London, such as International Politics Professor Jef Huysmans, whose work covers the politics of insecurity, migration, and critical methods of security studies in International Relations. Students in the PGDip programme are able to engage with their academic staff during tutorials and webinars, and are assessed through standard coursework assignments such as research essays or critical evaluations. In the end, graduates come away with the same level of qualification as their on-campus peers would, assured in their achievement of an International Relations Postgraduate Diploma from a well-regarded Top 20 UK university.
An online PGDip gives you the same career-boosting qualifications as an on-campus programme
