“I wanted to let you know that I thoroughly enjoyed the module overall. It was well balanced and engaging. Although different from the other modules, I liked the roleplays we did in class and how dynamic the overall process was. The guest lectures were also eye opening and useful into understanding the practicalities of the roles in the real world” (Yasser, May 2020)

Experts from academia, government and industry will share their insights (and secrets, in some cases) to guide and support your own discoveries and learning. You will work collaboratively with academic staff and each other to enrich your studies, and will have the

• pportunity to become experts in topical issues such

as the repercussions for global politics and trade of the UK’s exit from the EU (Brexit), or the Covid-19 world pandemic.

“The proximity to the diplomatic opportunities that London offers, along with the uniqueness of each of the modules has made my studies thoroughly enjoyable” (Aris, December 2019)
