Visit programme website for more information

Overview

The Diplomacy and International Law offered at The American University of Paris takes advantage of the interdisciplinary nature of governments, non-profits, international institutions and businesses, training students to move easily across boundaries in advocating for the allocation of ideas, rights and resources in today’s world. Our graduates pursue careers in government, business, the United Nations or the NGO sector, or they may pursue further studies in law; all graduates utilize the wide range of skills acquired through the programme to advocate for justice in challenging circumstances.

Learning Outcomes

Whether they go on to work in the public or private sector, the international outlook provided to graduates of the Diplomacy and International Law programme offer students a one-up. The programme aims for students to: 

  • Be able to do an independent research and a well-structured written work;
  • Demonstrating fluency in legal reasoning; developing a critical analysis of international law and its socio-political impact through case studies;
  • Understanding of key concepts, relevant actors and main institutions of the international legal order; be able to apply the relevant rules of international law into specific cases

Careers

Students come to the MA in Diplomacy and International Law from a variety of backgrounds, countries, previous degrees and careers. Regardless of the experiences under students’ belts upon arrival in Paris, the diversity of the cohort is guaranteed. Small classrooms allow students to develop the fundamental skills necessary to careers in diplomacy or international law, which include participation in debate and confronting their own perspectives to those of others. Students of this programme engage in collaborative research initiatives, fact-checking and practica that require thinking outside the box, and therefore rely on each other and their professors to find solutions to real-world problems.
