Program Overview

The diploma provides a foundation in the academic discipline of International Relations - the array of ‘real world’ practices and problems that produce world politics: looking, for example, at diplomacy, arms control and arms proliferation, global health policy, humanitarian intervention and international development policy. While still attending closely and consistently to issues of world politics such as armed conflict and negotiations, it offers a significantly broader education in international politics by examining contemporary issues of international politics from a multitude of perspectives, both traditional and more critical.
