Introduction
When thinking about relationships between countries, specifically in the Middle East, two words come to mind: "it's complicated"; not only for diplomats, policy analysts, and decision-makers but also for researchers and scholars. This is exactly why our Master's program in Diplomacy is specially designed to provide our students with the knowledge and practical tools to address current social, political, and economic challenges in today's interconnected global environment, especially in Middle-East regions.
Highlights
Our program provides professional or aspiring administrators, officials, policymakers, and negotiators with collaborative diplomatic mechanisms, insights and analytical tools to address complex political, cultural, and economic challenges. This includes:
- Introducing effective, cutting-edge physical and digital diplomatic tools and techniques
- Field trips designed to expose students to actual behind-the-scenes diplomatic functioning at the Israeli Foreign Ministry, UN Headquarters and other institutions
- Practical simulations designed to address versatile diplomatic issues
One year, One degree
Our one-year program is taught in English over three consecutive semesters from October through September. Graduates will be awarded a Master of Arts in International Relations, alongside a certificate of specialization in Diplomatic Studies
Curriculum
The focus of the program is such that it will bring to the fore the fundamental role of collaborative diplomatic mechanisms, and as such is designed to provide students with new insights, concepts and analytical tools for fully understanding the enhanced functions of diplomacy in this new setting. The program is intended to enable students to identify effective solutions for a broad range of political, cultural, and economic issues which they will face, and for their continued involvement as administrators, officials, and decision makers when involved with complex negotiations and policy implementation.
The one-year program is taught in English over three consecutive semesters from October through September. Upon completion of the program, students will be awarded a Master of Arts in International Relations and a certificate of specialization in Diplomatic Studies from the School of Political Sciences.
Program Outcome
- Highlight the role of diplomacy as a key element for systematically addressing the broad cluster of questions and issues that impact the entire world, and which cannot, therefore, be effectively dealt with exclusively from a narrow unilateral or bilateral vantage point.
- Introduce students to the usefulness of various diplomatic tools and techniques, including digital diplomacy and the simulation of diplomatic processes, as a means for promoting international stability and collaboration.
- Expose the students to the actual functioning of diplomatic institutions (i.e., the Israeli Foreign Ministry, UN headquarters) through field trips.
