The INTER-UNIVERSITY MASTER’S DEGREE IN DIPLOMACY AND INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS offered by the Diplomatic School of Spain aims to cement its position as a world-leading programme of training for analysts and experts in international relations and political affairs, provided in the Spanish language. With this goal in mind, the Master’s Degree offers a modern specialized course in diplomacy and international studies, providing students with the right tools to successfully develop their professional careers in national diplomatic services, international organizations, nongovernmental
organizations and private entities that operate at the international level.
The Master’s programme also prepares Spanish students for the entrance exam to join Spain’s Diplomatic Corps, and is therefore adapted to the syllabus and criteria established for the Corps’ admission system. The international environment and spirit of unity at the Diplomatic School between Spanish and foreign students, including young diplomats from around the globe, is yet another powerful public diplomacy instrument for Spain, in its cooperation with other members of the international community to create a more prosperous, secure and stable world.
