Programme specification:

The MA in Global Governance and Diplomacy is a 12-month course designed to provide high quality education in the practices, institutions and processes that address the key global challenges of our time: security and conflict, climate change, migration, gender equality, humanitarian assistance, health, poverty, economic stability, development, and education. On completion of this degree, students will have an in-depth knowledge of the challenges faced by humanity, the current global regimes that regulate human practices, why those regimes succeed or fail, the politics underpinning current practices and the obstacles to change. The MA also builds on the academic study of governance and contemporary diplomatic practice. It is vocationally oriented and is designed to prepare students for careers working in international organizations and their member states, as well the non-governmental organizations that operate within global politics. To this end, our graduates will be familiar with, and practiced in, the key skills (e.g. report writing, policy analysis, policy brief writing, presentation and communication tactics, evidence-based policy, negotiating, campaigning and lobbying) that are necessary to work in global governance.”
