MASTER OF ARTS IN

DIPLOMACY AND INTERNATIONAL STUDIES

The world today is characterised by rapid change and growing interdependence among nations in all areas of human endeavours. Hence, nations need professionals in foreign affairs who can serve in governments, international organisations, non-government organisations, and international business. In Southeast Asia, there is no specialised institution which caters to this specific need. The Institute of Diplomacy and International Studies (IDIS) is designed to fill this need. The program that’s designed at RSU will provide professional education in international studies covering the entire spectrum of international relations. Hence, this will be an intensive training course that will focus on practical skills (e.g. negotiation techniques, diplomatic practices, media skills, rhetoric, and languages).

The program is open to students with or without prior knowledge of politics and international studies who wish to increase their understanding of globalization and current events in international affairs.

Students will gain a comprehensive understanding of various aspects of diplomacy and international relations, and also have the option to write a thesis in their chosen area of research.
