Academic Presentation
This unique Master's degree focuses on diplomatic practice and the actual application of theoretical knowledge, rather than the advancement of academic knowledge for its own sake.
The MDIA is used by professional diplomats working for EUCLID Participating States and can be considered an excellent route to pursue a career within governmental bodies, NGOs and international organizations.
Thanks to its low tuition and institutional relationships, it is of special interest to European and African students.
Within certain parameters, the EUCLID Online Master in Diplomacy (similar in contents to what other institutions present as an Online Master in International Relations) is customizable, with elective courses focusing on:
Regional diplomatic affairs
Small islands issues
Inter-ethnic and inter-religious relations
E-government
Sustainable economic development
Non-governmental organizations
International Law and Treaty Law
This degree program is distance-based only and requires fluency in the English language.
