About

The Master in Digital International Relations and Diplomacy program is designed to balance theoretical knowledge and practical application. Geared towards empowering participants for swift entry into careers with international organizations, the foreign service, policy making, international business, non-profits and journalism, among others, our curriculum is tailored to provide a comprehensive understanding of international relations, coupled with hands-on experiences that mirror the dynamic challenges of the field. This dual approach not only enhances academic excellence but also equips students with the practical skills necessary for success in their future roles.

Throughout the year, students will also participate in real-life case studies, international negotiations, will have access to international organisations, and will participate in the innovative Business Immersion Weeks which take place every term. In order to graduate, students must also complete an internship and an Internship Report.
