International Relations and Diplomacy

The St Stephen’s Centre for Advanced Learning (SCAL) is happy to offer a Certificate course in Understanding International Relations and Diplomacy beginning 15th January, 2022. The course is meant for graduates with some work-experience who are keen on getting an in-depth understanding and a ringside view of how International Relations and Diplomacy work in real-life situations. If you are a student keen on understanding the nuances of International Diplomacy but have no work-experience you are also welcome to apply but a preference will be given to those with some work experience and a clear intention of wanting to pursue an interest and perhaps, even a career, in International Relations.

Minister of State for External Affairs, Hon’ble Meenakshi Lekhi will inaugurate the course with her address on what International Relations is all about and after that, over the next four weekends, we will have Ambassadors, seasoned diplomats, academics and those who have actually practiced international diplomacy in all its intricate, sometimes delicate, versions share their experiences and insights on the subject.

If you wish to know more about how diplomacy works in an international setting, then come and listen to the veterans. You won’t get a better insight into International diplomacy and its working!

Applicants are welcome to apply for the programme from 13.12.2021 onwards. Please click on the link (https://scal.ststephens.edu/) and complete the Application Form. Once done, you will be called for an interview to see how your interest and requirements match with the needs of this course. Interviews are also required as seats on this course are limited.
