Is a PhD in IR fit for working for international organizations?
S

Hi all,

I just got a Master in IR from the London School of Economics with distinction, and one of my professor suggested that I start a PhD there, with her as a supervisor. I had never really thought about doing a PhD beforehand, but the fact that my prof believes in my capacities made me seriously consider this opportunity.
I know that I don't want to work in academia, and I 'm not even interested in working for a think tank, but I would be extremely happy working for the UN or any other international organization such as the EU.
So my question is: is a PhD in IR the good path towards working for an international organization?
Thank you so much for your answers and good luck to you all!
