This course provides the expertise and skills in global governance and diplomacy required to pursue a fruitful career within international organisations, their member states, or a non-governmental organisation operating within global politics.
Throughout the course, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of the transnational nature of governance and diplomacy. You’ll analyse the transnational governance regimes that seek to address global challenges, questioning why such regimes succeed or fail.

The practical focus of the course will ensure you’re well equipped to succeed in this field, with advanced knowledge of lobbying, report writing, negotiating, and campaigning.
