This page will provide links and resources to students who are interested in learning more about the International Relations (IR) program at Mount Allison University.

Many of our former students explain their own reasons for choosing IR here.

There are a number of reasons why IR may be the right program for you.

1) As an interdisciplinary degree, students choose from a diverse body of courses and are able to tailor their degrees to their specific interests.

For more information about our courses and program requirements, visit our Courses and Program Description pages.

3) Many student clubs and activities on-campus address issues that are relevant to IR, and are able to enhance learning opportunities. To learn about opportunities at Mount Allison for programs and activities that will complement your IR education, visit our Student Clubs page.

4) During your IR degree, many exchange opportunities are available to countries such as France, Thailand, New Zealand, and Japan. To read about students who are on or have taken an exchange, visit our Exchanges page.
