MBA - International Relations and Diplomacy
International relations have come into existence ever since Antiquity, when people first organised themselves in city-states. In recent times, information has become easily transmissible, enabling organisations and businesses to grow and spread and become multinational, with some generating revenue that exceeds the GDP of many nations, permitting these organisations to employ extraordinary influence over international politics.
The technological revolution and the rise of social media have further linked global audiences in ways that were previously next to impossible. Information is now available a fingertip away, nearly in real-time. Governments and businesses alike are now pursuing professional individuals, skilled in international relations and diplomacy, who can facilitate them measuring up to the needs and challenges of this shift towards globalisation, and this programme recognises the consequent need for support from professionals conversant with the requirements of business and other organisations.
