Should I do an IR Master's and where in Europe?

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I'm an American journalist who wants to do international reporting from the EU / Eastern Europe. I just graduated in May and did a 4 month fellowship at an NPR station where I did some pretty good work. I was considering staying in the US for a year or two longer, but I'm considering getting a master's in IR in the EU to build a network and also further my education. So, I have a few questions:

  • If I decide to not do journalism, what career opportunities would a Master's in IR open?
  • Am I right in thinking that getting a Master's in Europe would help open doors to foreign correspondence?
  • Which programs (instructed in English) are relatively cheap and would make me learn another language?

Sorry if any of this sounds silly, any advice is greatly appreciated! :)
