Our achievements

Welcome The Institute for Diplomacy and International Governance offers unrivalled insight into the key challenges and opportunities that arise as old paradigms and models of global order continue to expose their limitations.

02

From questions of international business, trade and management to the matter of the UK’s global role, we address the pressing contemporary issues of today’s and tomorrow’s world.

You will work collaboratively with academic staff and each other to enrich your studies, and will have the opportunity to become experts in topical issues such as the repercussions of the UK’s exit from the EU.

Our programmes are designed to expose you to many different aspects of contemporary diplomacy and international governance.

Experts from academia, government and industry will share their insights (and secrets, in some cases) to guide and support your own discoveries and learning.

I hope to welcome you into our postgraduate research community soon.

Kind regards Professor Helen Drake Director of the Institute for Diplomacy and International Governance
