Master in Contemporary Diplomacy****with an Internet Governance
Specialisation****
------------------------------
*Accelerate your career with this online diplomacy programme,
offered by DiploFoundation and the University of Malta.*****
------------------------------
** **
This unique programme gives current and future Internet policymakers a
solid foundation in diplomatic skills and techniques, necessary to engage
effectively in international global policy processes. ****

****’The IG route in the MA Contemporary Diplomacy Programme has enabled me
to situate the focus of my work on Internet Governance in Africa in a space
that is directly relevant to the mandate of the NEPAD Agency. I have found
immense value in being able to bring together the two worlds of Internet
Governance and Diplomacy.’****

How the programme works****
- First, you attend a 10-day residential workshop in Malta. Here you
will get a clear overview of the programme, meet your classmates and some
of the faculty members, and develop skills in critical areas of diplomacy
including negotiation, protocol, and language.****
- Next, you participate in five online courses, each lasting ten weeks.
You will attend three or four courses in IG-related topics and choose the
remaining courses from our wide range of diplomacy
topics<http://diplomacy.us5.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=89e7299f9fe54eed66d45cf3d&id=db6efaa15c&e=330e500107>.
Online study involves reading and discussing lecture texts with course
lecturers and fellow participants, completing learning activities and
assignments, and joining online meetings. Once you have completed these
courses, you are eligible to receive a Postgraduate Diploma in Contemporary
Diplomacy awarded by the University of Malta.****
- If you continue to the Master's degree, the final part of the
programme is writing your dissertation, focussed on an IG-related topic,
under the personal guidance of a faculty member. On successful completion,
you will receive a Master’s degree in Contemporary Diplomacy awarded by the
University of Malta.****
- The IG courses you attended – as well as other courses – will be
listed in a detailed transcript which you can order on completion of the
programme to supplement your diploma or degree in Contemporary Diplomacy.

practising and retired diplomats, academics, and specialists in IG with
