MSc Diplomacy, International Politics and Trade in London United Kingdom | Loughborough University

Our Master of Science in Diplomacy, International Politics and Trade equips students with the competencies, insights, and perspectives required to work effectively in multicultural and global settings.

This interdisciplinary MSc program bridges the realms of commerce, governance, and international relations. Every commercial activity occurs within frameworks influenced by political decisions at national and global scales. The curriculum examines how state-level diplomatic discussions (such as those between the US and China) result in trade agreements that establish norms and govern supply networks. Students analyze how political developments (like Brexit) impact both local and global commercial activities. Through immersive simulations, participants assume roles as negotiators, diplomats, and advocates to tackle actual challenges, investigating how political decisions affect various trade sectors and examining governmental reactions to emergencies like the Covid-19 pandemic.
