The program is dedicated to cultivating highly effective diplomats, researchers, managers and well-rounded leaders by providing them with the mindset, knowledge, skills, and management capabilities to succeed in today’s constantly changing global world and to influence and work across organizational and cultural boundaries.
Diplomacy is the skill of knowing how to talk to people, how to negotiate, how to gather and draw meaning from intelligence sources, and how to solve problems. In this program you will learn how diplomacy is used in the relationships between states, or between a state and an international institution like the United Nations. It’s the study of politics, economics and law at a global level, with a particular emphasis on political science.
Students in the Master of Diplomacy and International Affairs program come from wide-ranging functional and industry backgrounds, as well as the defense, public and not-for-profit sectors. All of whom benefit from improving their understanding of the multiple effects that international factors can have on their objectives.
The program offers participants the opportunity to develop core skills such as communication and cross-cultural management as well as an in-depth knowledge of diplomatic history, political economy, and regional and global relations.
