Are you thinking of a career working for the United Nations or its agencies around the world? Is it your dream to serve in your country’s foreign ministry, but you don’t know where to start? We may have the answer. The Centre for United Nations Studies at the University of Buckingham in the UK offers a Masters Degree in United Nations and Diplomatic Studies. The degree can be taken full-time over one year or part-time over two.

Graduates will gain a firm grounding in the work of the WHO, UN peacekeeping operations and the UN’s sustainable development goals. They will also learn about global political communication, develop negotiating skills and write a dissertation on a UN-related topic of their choice. In addition to a high-level guest speakers program, they will have access to mentors with first-hand experience in the UN, such as program director Mark Seddon, a former speechwriter to UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon and a former UN Correspondent for al Jazeera English TV, and Lord Mark Malloch-Brown, a former UN Deputy Secretary General.
