We recognize that in the current era of global interdependence, collaborative efforts are needed to meet the most pressing challenges in the international system. The global emerging labour markets are in need of graduates with innovative and critical mind set, global thinkers, entrepreneurial acumen, and most recently, system thinkers, to take the world of work to the next level.
To achieve this, the program critically analyzes key areas of International Relations, such as, Diplomacy, Foreign Policy, International Law, Conflictological Studies, International Security, and International Political Economy through a multidisciplinary approach. Our first-rate students are continuously exposed to practical leadership skills through diverse expositions, such as, ‘simulation’, ‘pitching’, and structured ‘diplomatic clinics.’ Besides, the cutting-edge faculty, enthusiastic support staff, we have a vibrant seminar series at the center of our post-graduate programmes. We pride of an international academic advisory team, born out of our global rich networking social capitals such as eminent scholarship, sustained scientific research and leadership in the ‘system thinking’ pedagogical practice.
