Learning objectives
The 1-year Specialising Master in Advanced Public and Cultural Diplomacy for International Relations (MAPCD) is the first in Europe to integrate four distinct fields of study:
- Public Diplomacy and International Relations
- Soft Power and Cultural Diplomacy, aimed at enhancing the global reputation of countries and cities
- Global Communication for engaging audiences worldwide
- Business Diplomacy
Studying Public and Cultural Diplomacy involves understanding the growing influence of non-state actors in international affairs, as well as the strategic role of the arts and digital media in foreign policy.
The programme aspires not only to develop skilled professionals with multidisciplinary expertise for today’s complex global landscape, but, above all, to cultivate "Citizens of the World"—individuals with a vision and commitment to build bridges across cultures, fostering dialogue and peace.
