Open-book assessments that mirror real-world problem solving

Instead of traditional question-and-answer exams, you will demonstrate your mastery through open-book assessments. These evaluate your ability to research, synthesize, and apply theory to realistic scenarios—much like the decisions leaders make in policy rooms, boardrooms, and negotiations every day.

This approach rewards critical thinking, structured analysis, and clear communication. It aligns closely with the competencies that international organisations and global companies expect from their most trusted professionals.
