                       Master
in Contemporary Diplomacy with an Internet Governance Specialisation
------------------------------
 *Accelerate your career with this online diplomacy programme,
offered by DiploFoundation and the University of Malta.*
------------------------------
       This unique programme gives current and future Internet policymakers
a solid foundation in diplomatic skills and techniques, necessary to engage
effectively in international global policy processes.         ’The IG route
in the MA Contemporary Diplomacy Programme has enabled me to situate the
focus of my work on Internet Governance in Africa in a space that is
directly relevant to the mandate of the NEPAD Agency. I have found immense
value in being able to bring together the two worlds of Internet Governance
and Diplomacy.’

*Towela Nyirenda-Jere

Agency*
         How the programme works

   - First, you attend a 10-day residential workshop in Malta. Here you
   will get a clear overview of the programme, meet your classmates and some
   of the faculty members, and develop skills in critical areas of diplomacy
   including negotiation, protocol, and language.
   - Next, you participate in five online courses, each lasting ten weeks.
   You will attend three or four courses in IG-related topics and choose the
   remaining courses from our wide range of diplomacy
topics<http://diplomacy.us5.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=89e7299f9fe54eed66d45cf3d&id=db6efaa15c&e=330e500107>.
   Online study involves reading and discussing lecture texts with course
   lecturers and fellow participants, completing learning activities and
   assignments, and joining online meetings. Once you have completed these
   courses, you are eligible to receive a Postgraduate Diploma in Contemporary
   Diplomacy awarded by the University of Malta.
   - If you continue to the Master's degree, the final part of the
   programme is writing your dissertation, focussed on an IG-related topic,
   under the personal guidance of a faculty member. On successful completion,
   you will receive a Master’s degree in Contemporary Diplomacy awarded by the
   University of Malta.
   - The IG courses you attended – as well as other courses – will be
   listed in a detailed transcript which you can order on completion of the
   programme to supplement your diploma or degree in Contemporary Diplomacy.

include
practising and retired diplomats, academics, and specialists in IG with
both theoretical expertise and practical experience in the field.

*Online learning* takes place in small groups and is highly interactive,
drawing on the experience and knowledge of participants as well as

when and where to study. The programme requires 5–7 hours of study per week.
