MA in Diplomacy

1 year full-time or 2 years part-time

The MA in Diplomacy, an interdisciplinary programme, introduces students to the advanced study of diplomacy.

This dynamic programme, offered jointly by the Schools of Politics & International Relations, Law, and History, exposes students to the latest research in areas such as the law of armed conflict, crisis management, and contemporary international history. Students develop a broad understanding of diplomacy and negotiation including traditional approaches which view it as a specialist form of statecraft and modern conceptions which embrace areas such as the media and cultural diplomacy.

Students taking this programme have the opportunity to participate in a field trip to Brussels and The Hague, where they visit key diplomatic institutions and organisations such as the European Commission,  North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO), Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe (SHAPE), and the European Parliament. In addition practitioners from the military  and government are brought to Nottingham to speak to students.

The programme is intended for those wishing to pursue professional careers that involve expertise in international representation and negotiation, including:

• ministerial advising
• defence liaison
• international trade
• international and non-governmental organisations
• journalism
• public information
• telecommunications consultancy
• further studies at doctoral level

Students are also invited to attend a series of talks given by distinguished practitioners from outside academia, which provide an opportunity for interaction with key figures from the world of politics and international relations.
