Master Science Politique — Diplomatie globale

Facultés libres de l'Ouest offers this master's degree in Science Politique, or political science, with a specialization titled Diplomatie globale, or global diplomacy, based in Angers, France. Political science as a discipline studies political institutions, power, governance, and international relations, and this specialization focuses specifically on diplomacy and the conduct of international relations in a globalized context. Students typically study international relations theory, the history and practice of diplomacy, international law, negotiation techniques, and the functioning of international organizations and multilateral institutions. Coursework often examines contemporary global issues such as security, trade, and cooperation between states, alongside the practical skills diplomats and international affairs professionals use, including negotiation, diplomatic protocol, and policy analysis. Given the increasingly interconnected nature of global affairs, programs in global diplomacy also tend to address how state and non-state actors, including international organizations, businesses, and civil society, interact within international relations. Graduates of political science and diplomacy programs pursue careers in diplomatic services, international organizations, government ministries handling foreign affairs, nongovernmental organizations, and international departments of private companies, as well as further academic study in international relations or political science. The degree runs over two years at the master's level, is delivered in French, with an anticipated start in September and yearly tuition of 250 EUR. Students completing this program in Angers graduate with a foundation in political science oriented toward careers in international relations and diplomatic practice.
