Institute for Diplomacy and International Affairs
The Institute for Diplomacy and International Affairs (IDIA) offers master's and doctoral programmes designed to meet the evolving demands of today's world. At IDIA, we work alongside our students to provide them with the essential tools to comprehend these global realities, preparing them for diverse careers in both public and private sectors across the globe.
Our students collaborate closely with academic staff and peers to enrich their studies, gaining expertise in topical issues such as the impact of digital technologies on diplomacy and the connection between geopolitics and sport.
Experts from academia, government, and industry share their insights, and occasionally their secrets, to guide and support students' learning and discoveries. Our London campus, with its entrepreneurial focus, facilitates access to various decision-makers and practitioners. We maintain a global network of academics and professionals, regularly inviting them to discuss their latest work, careers, and daily responsibilities.
In our research, we apply interdisciplinary and innovative approaches to address real-world international issues such as trust in international negotiations, the visual communication of protests, and Russia's role on the global stage.
