Welcome to the Department of Geopolitics and International Relations.

The Department offers Masters and Ph.D. programmes in Geopolitics and International Relations – the first and only one of its kind in India.

The main focus and objective of the programmes is to expose, engage and shape the young minds of India to the everchanging global security discourse from India’s perspective. The Postgraduate programme is designed to orient emerging scholars towards strategic studies, foreign policy, national security issues and the larger dimension of international politics. Through innovative and rigorous curricula, they are trained to become specialists in these fields.

We take pride in saying that these programmes are well-suited for those who seek careers in foreign policy, national security, diplomacy and geopolitical analysis across industry, government and the academia.

The Department endeavours to promote and inculcate interest among young minds and helps in building the critical mass of researchers on the complexities of International Relations.

The Department is known as a centre of learning and excellence. It has been possible because of the team effort and the dedicated faculty of the Department.

All the very best,

Prof. K. P. Vijayalakshmi
