Introduction
This MSc Gender and Diplomatic Practice programme offers a distinctive blend of theoretical knowledge and practical experience. Students will engage with modules covering gender concepts and debates, the history and philosophical foundations of the UN system, and receive hands-on training from seasoned UN professionals. Key skills for diplomatic practice, such as negotiation, leadership, and impactful advocacy will complement the theoretical element of this programme, equipping students for careers within international relations and diplomacy.
Curriculum
You’ll learn about diplomacy and gender studies. We’ll explore different ways to understand and practice diplomacy, along with examining gender from various angles (including media, film, history, literature, and sociology). Specifically, we’ll delve into key debates related to gender and global gender identities.
During the course, you’ll participate in seminars and complete various assessments. Plus, there’s an exciting opportunity to apply your knowledge in real-world settings at the United Nations through our Research Placement module. And if you’re more digitally inclined, you can even submit a Digital Project instead of a traditional Dissertation to boost your employability.
