As Diplomacy is valuable to such a broad range of professions and research fields, we pride ourselves in hosting students from a variety of backgrounds who have come to expand their knowledge and skills in an engaging, interdisciplinary learning environment. It is an environment ideal for optimal intellectual enrichment, with seminar based classes focused on tapping the full research skills of academics and experience of diplomatic practitioners. Our courses spark learning and ideas at all levels that might be applied in a persons career or extended in further academic research.
APCD offers a Master of Diplomatic Studies, a Doctor of Diplomatic Studies (professional doctorate) and PhD. Students are also able to combine an initial field of study with a Master of Diplomacy combined degree.
