Shaping Global Relations

The growth of globalisation requires all modern managers to think critically in order to recognise areas of growth for their organisation. Therefore, growing economic cooperation between nations as well as the increasing influence of the private sector in government policy making represents a special opportunity for organisations to develop new avenues for growth. Within the framework of the MBA Diplomacy, you will learn how to deal with the complexities in analysing and managing an ever-evolving global economy.

Governments and business organisations are now more conscious that they need better-trained officials to help them achieve their objectives in promoting business and trade, and for maintaining international security. This is precisely the training that our new and unique MBA Diplomacy will focus on.

Curriculum | MBA Diplomacy

During the 2nd and 3rd semester, you will deep dive into the specialised modules "The Science and the Dynamics of Diplomacy" as well as "Diplomacy in Action".

Throughout this three-semester course, the MBA Diplomacy curriculum provides students with a comprehensive understanding of business practices through modules such as Innovation Management and Leadership Management. By choosing to study MBA Diplomacy, students will be taught two specialisation modules in the second and third semesters which are designed to give them the knowledge and skills to pursue a career in diplomacy.
