    Online MSc Programs in Diplomacy

    Students who originally earned a bachelor’s degree frequently elect to pursue a Master of Science, or MSc, after completing their undergraduate studies. Master’s degrees can provide the senior-level knowledge and skills that may open additional career opportunities with more responsibility and higher wages earlier in the graduate’s career.

    What is an MSc in Diplomacy? Students with an interest in international relations and politics often further their education with this valuable degree. Specific areas of study typically include international law, geopolitics, geo-economics, financial markets, global trade and the role of the World Trade Organization, climate issues, terrorism, and the study of how governments and non-governmental organizations or NGOs serve their citizens. Communication classes traditionally cover cross-cultural communication challenges, public speaking and messaging during change or crisis.

    Understanding how organizations operate within the tenets of international trade rules and treaties is usually helpful when importing or exporting goods commercially. Being proficient at public speaking is critical in many types of professions. Strong writing and messaging skills can also be invaluable throughout many types of careers.

    The costs to earn a master’s degree normally vary depending on the location of the university. How online and in-person coursework delivery channels are used throughout the program can also impact costs. Tuition and fees could fluctuate depending on the length of the program and whether travel is required.

    Graduates regularly explore career opportunities in government service as a military or threat analyst, trade policy researcher, policy advisor, political affairs officer, advocacy associate, director of strategic engagement, or public affairs specialist. Private industry jobs often include market researcher, director of global government relations, international customer relations manager or global licensing coordinator. Graduates may also choose to stay in education as an assistant or associate professor of international studies or public policy.
