This two-year programme offers a unique blend of academic education in international relations and political science with graduate education and training in international negotiations and diplomacy.
The programme is offered jointly by the Department of Political Science of Leiden University and the prestigious Netherlands Institute of International Relations 'Clingendael' in The Hague. You will attend core courses in the fields of international relations and political science. In addition, you will gain specialised knowledge and hands-on experience in the area of diplomacy and international organisations, and insights into the practice of international negotiations and diplomacy. Teaching is highly interactive, and most classes are taught in a seminar format. Because this programme involves classroom work, individual research, and written assignments, students and staff are in close contact. During the programme, you will have the opportunity to complete an internship at an international organisation (or to attend additional specialised courses).
