Doctor of Diplomacy (DDipl)

... United Kingdom
... Stirling University - INTO

Course Overview

This course brings together best practices in academic learning and professional expertise. A unique feature of the face-to-face and practical aspect of the course is weekend seminars, which maximize your opportunities for discussion of key issues and flexible delivery. The suite of modules includes diplomatic simulations and negotiation exercises, which can also be taken à la carte. The DDipl consists of two parts. Full-time students can expect to complete the degree in three to four years. The taught part of the course will last for two academic years if youre a full-time student. In your final year (with the option of applying for a one-year extension), Ph.D. candidates will complete a thesis within about one year. This thesis will enable you to reflect on pertinent issues of diplomacy in light of the theory and conceptual knowledge you have gained over the course of your degree €“ as well as through your independent research. Most working professionals are likely to choose part-time study for this degree. If you choose the part-time degree pathway, the completion of the DDipl will take proportionately longer.
