Course content

The MA Diplomacy is a vocationally orientated, interdisciplinary course offered jointly by the Schools of Politics and International Relations, Law and History.

The course is ideally suited to those students wishing to pursue professional careers that are informed by diplomacy, mediation and negotiation within areas such as the civil service, commercial negotiation, defence liaison, international financial regulation and journalism, as just a few examples.

Diplomacy provides the vital human framework for the development of international society in a globalising world. Increasingly complex patterns of law, culture, history, economics and politics – both within and between states – are mediated by the practice of diplomacy. The craft of diplomacy, although distinguished by a remarkable and time-honoured pedigree, is ever more essential to mediation and regulation in the contemporary world.

You will be introduced to the advanced study of diplomacy and negotiation, including traditional approaches – which conceive of it as a specialist form of statecraft – and modern conceptions, which embrace areas such as media and cultural diplomacy.
