Open-book assessments that mirror real-world practice

We use open-book assessments instead of traditional question-and-answer examinations. This approach mirrors how professionals operate in the real world: you identify reliable sources, evaluate complex information, and make defensible, strategic decisions—skills that are essential in international relations and diplomacy.

Rather than memorising isolated facts, you will engage with frameworks, cases, and policy contexts that enhance judgment, clarity, and influence. The result is a learning experience that equips you to think critically, communicate effectively, and act decisively.

Learn from globally educated faculty

Our tutors and faculty have graduated from world-renowned universities like Oxford, Harvard, EPFL, University of Basel, and Washington University in St. Louis. They bring a wealth of academic depth and international experience to every module, helping you connect theory to leadership challenges across borders and sectors.

With their guidance, you will interrogate ideas confidently, hone your analytical toolkit, and transform complex insights into credible, actionable strategies that resonate in international settings.

Join a truly global community

Study alongside a diverse cohort from over 130 countries—leaders, innovators, and changemakers who bring rich perspectives from every region of the world. The conversations you have, the networks you build, and the collaborations you pursue will extend well beyond graduation.

Our alumni work for international organisations like United Nations, ICRC, The World Bank, WFP, FAO, World Vision, JCI, Google, Microsoft, Intel, Samsung, Tencent, Siemens, Sony, and many more. These connections help you tap into opportunities, mentorship, and insights at the highest levels of global practice.

Pay in up to 18 monthly interest free instalments

We believe access should be practical and predictable. Our fees can be paid in up to 18 monthly interest free instalments, helping you budget with confidence while you invest in your future.

This approach lets you focus on learning and career progression—without large upfront costs—so you can keep momentum in your life and studies from day one.
