«All the works are good, choose on taste ..." Remember, it sounds like that line from a children's poem?But there are a number of specialties, one name that causes us to awe and respect for those who are engaged in the given direction.The doctor, firefighter, astronaut - this is our first children's dreams.It seems very exciting, and most importantly - it is necessary to treat and save people.And sometimes emanates from the areas of employment such romance and mystery ... Here, for example, international relations.Professions related to diplomacy - the same social events, talks, regular trips abroad ... It seems so human, away from this specialty.
Romance
At all times working in foreign embassies was the most honorable, but at the same time and the most dangerous.After all, if you suddenly started a feud between the states, it was the first diplomats found themselves under attack.
Of course, the modern world is a much more humane and economic, industrial and other relations between states are becoming wider by the day.And things do not always go smoothly, and "like clockwork."But that they become even more interesting - international relations.Professions diverse, requiring knowledge in many areas always attract people of extraordinary.And why almost everyone wants to "learn a diplomat."
Specialties
Yet what offers direction "International Relations" profession?What this will graduate in the future?Those who are really going to build a career in diplomacy, you need to choose a particular specialty.After all professions related to international relations, it is very diverse.This and the global economy, and regional studies, and applied science in the field of international relations.Uzkoprofilnye schools can also offer foreign economic activity or a socio-cultural service and tourism, linguistics, and so on. N.
In addition, within the regional studies, for example, allocate such opportunities direction Education:
- Europe;
- North America;
- Asia-Pacific region;
- Middle East;
- Africa;
- Baltic countries;
- CIS;
- individual countries in each region.
Actually, we can see that sometimes the "output" produced very narrow (though it's quite a volume concept - international relations) profession.What is it - a competitive advantage or a path to unemployment?Businesses clearly speak in favor of the first - the deeper the young professional has studied one direction, the more effort put into the development of a rare language, the better his chances in the labor market.
complexity and uniqueness
training of specialists in "International Relations" (the profession is very different) requires thorough knowledge not only theory, but also applied disciplines.It is not enough simply to memorize historical events and dates;you need to draw conclusions about their meaning.Not only talk about the need of mutually beneficial cooperation, need to be able to accurately determine the points of contact and to justify their proposals.Profession "international economic relations" and still requires serious knowledge on macroeconomics and peculiarities of foreign interstate relations.
Language training
In addition, students need to learn more and more foreign languages.After all, the ability to communicate without an intermediary and interpreter to avoid misunderstandings, and often faster to find the common interests of the negotiators.
Imagine MGIMO marked by Guinness World Records as the institution with the highest number of public teaching of foreign languages.There you can find a teacher in one of 50 languages, including rare European and Oriental.You agree that unique knowledge do experts indispensable in its field.Moreover, they can work not only in Russia, but also to build a career in the foreign companies.
Besides language training for international relations (trade diplomat and economist with knowledge of foreign trade, for example) and require deep knowledge in the area of the selected region.This is very interesting, on the one hand, but also extremely difficult - on the other.After all, to feel the problems of a country, you need to want it very much.Only with internal motivation can talk about the successful receipt of education in such areas as international relations.
Professions description that interests us today - an important and, above all, responsible component of the life of the state in the world community.Apparently, so experts in international affairs so appreciated at all times.
Foreign Regional Studies
This is one of the areas of training of students, which offers the faculty of international relations.Professions diplomats and embassy staff get here.Here are forged staff to work in the Foreign Ministry.
Education students in this program is carried out for a long time.For the first time in the MGIMO, for example, such a separation earned in 1943.Therefore, we can say with confidence, "thumb" training program.But, of course, modern life is much more dynamic one that was 60 or even 70 years ago.Therefore, the program is regularly adjusted and modified.By teaching the practice of constantly involved who have worked for years in some foreign trip.
uzkoprofilnye - does not mean the lack of opportunities
Graduates-regional studies, the last direction of "international relations" (profession whose salary is significantly above the average for the state) is much easier to find work than their counterparts with a more general education.This is due to the fact that students master the rare languages and quite deeply aware of the situation in the "Love" in the world.This means that there are fewer and they are more in demand than generalists with knowledge of English, German and French.
And another note.Sometimes, in the universities on the subject "International relations" profession associated with foreign regional studies, called "diplomacy and foreign policy."By submitting documents should be precisely to find out what kind of training program in question.
foreign affairs
second direction at first sight always seems to be prestigious and interesting - actually "international relations" (profession, universities usually give a list of them, are very interesting, but do not have a sufficient concentration on any single nuance).This so-called generalists.
In preparing these students are no objects on the history, economy and culture of any one country.Here, rather, the work on the study of global issues of development of relations in the world.For example, we study the differences of entire regions (East-West), reviews the activities of international funds and organizations, and so on. D. In addition to the familiarization with the traditions of Russian diplomacy is still being studied and foreign practice.The same applies to language training: students master the traditional set of European languages.
In short, after graduation, young professionals can devote themselves to not only work in the Foreign Ministry, but also in other public or non-governmental structures.Before graduates opens great prospects rather Worth a try, realizing his desire to enter the department of "International Relations".Professions (salary beginners to experts, perhaps, small) can be claimed and companies that are not directly related to diplomacy.
Linguists

D.
training program usually includes not only the linguistic component but also the economy and outsourcing, and information technology.That is, all the basic knowledge that may be needed for further work.
In addition, assistants and translators get a great opportunity to go all over the world.International corporations are obliged to take part in various forums, symposia, conferences, and so on. D. That means that a small but versatile trips abroad guaranteed.If specialists this perspective can be realized only during the holidays (roughly speaking, they can "shine" a long trip to the region, which has been the object of study), the linguists combine business with pleasure.
Internship
What else gives training in "International relations"?Which professions require a practical skills while studying?Here, the answer is simple: all without exception.Most often, universities have agreements with various government and commercial enterprises of the passage of student internships.
Large and well-known universities are training in "international relations."Professions (Krasnoyarsk universities with budget places, 2014 statistics vividly illustrate this) provide an opportunity to train abroad in the selected region.This is especially important for those receiving specialty "Foreign Regional Studies."Even three months in the country, who studies do wonders: will overcome the language barrier, it becomes clear the psychology of the locals, rituals and cultural traditions will no longer seem "savage" (of course, when it comes to Africa or some Asian countries where philosophylife is fundamentally different from our usual).
Independent work
