Students who study international affairs develop understanding about contemporary global issues as well as in-depth knowledge of a chosen region or policy issue. Programs may focus on the diplomacy, culture and economics of a particular country or in a general sense.

In Belarus, university education is the highest level of academic educational pursuit. It also has an extra post-secondary level, which provides other related vocational training. After the undergraduate degree, the education system gives you an opportunity to further your education in order to extend your academic pursuit to masters or doctoral degree levels.

A masters is earned after students complete an undergraduate degree program. To obtain a masters, you usually need to complete 12 to 18 college courses that often involve completing comprehensive tests and/or a thesis.
