Programme specification:
The MA in Global Governance and Diplomacy is a 24-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.”
The skills-based teaching throughout the course will allow you to gain training in the practices, institutions, and processes that address the key global challenges of our time such as: health, food security, climate change, migration, gender equality, humanitarian assistance, health, poverty, economic stability, development and education.
Throughout the programme you will gain a deeper understanding of the transnational nature of these issues, and how the interrelated and global scale of these challenges requires a fresh approach beyond the nation state. You will gain a deeper understanding of the governance regimes that seek to address global challenges, why such regimes succeed or fail, the politics underpinning current practice and the obstacles to change. The practical focus of the course will ensure you are well-equipped and practiced in the skills required to succeed in this field, such as lobbying, report writing, negotiating, and campaigning.
You will also benefit from the research expertise and experience of staff contributing to the programme. Our staff have experience working with major international bodies such as the United Nations (UN), the Joint Office for Prevention of Genocide and the Responsibility to Protect (R2P) and beyond.
