Top Overseas MAs in International Relations/Affairs

<p>Dear all,</p>

<p>I’m interested in an MA in International Relations/Affairs from a non-US school (Oxford, Cambridge, London School of Economics, The Graduate Institute in Geneva, Sciences Po, etc.). Another option could also be a 2nd BA from Oxford in PPE (Philosophy, Politics, and Economics).</p>

<p>Does anyone know the rankings for non-US MAs in International Relations/Affairs?</p>

<p>My background - BA from Harvard in 2004, since then worked in Alaska, New Zealand, Singapore, and now Saudi Arabia. Will be 30 years old next Fall, but not ready to go back to the US yet.</p>

<p>Any help with overseas (non-US) MA rankings would be much appreciated. Thank you!</p>
