Course Description

Our MSc in Diplomacy, International Politics and Trade focuses on the skills, knowledge and understanding needed to operate professionally across cultures as well as time zones.

Our interdisciplinary Diplomacy, International Politics and Trade MSc programme connects the worlds of business, politics and diplomacy. All business is conducted in environments shaped by political decisions taken at national and/or international levels. You will learn how diplomatic negotiations between states (eg the US and China) lead to trade deals that set standards and regulate the supply chain. You will study the consequences of political choices (such as Brexit) for domestic and international business operations. You will step into the shoes of negotiators, diplomats and lobbyists to solve problems encountered in the real world, studying the consequences of political choices for all kinds of trade, and exploring political responses to crises such as Covid-19.

Entry Requirements

A 2:2 honours degree (50% in final year), or equivalent international qualification, in any subject area.
