The Graduate Center will open its doors in August, 2017, to train future leaders in public policy and Rule of Law, for that will the Master Program in Global Affairs provide the contextual perspectives for becoming a successful, well-rounded, and ethically grounded professional in one of the many fields shaping global relations. The Master Program will follow a teaching model based on lectures, both in class and online, guided research toward the composition of a final thesis, or practical internships in multilateral organizations, NGO’s, corporations, and national governments. By bringing together a select group of participants from around the world, we will be able to train experts in the different areas of International Relations and International Cooperation/Global Affairs, providing them with a strong academic background, a solid foundation of international skills and know-how, and a genuinely multi-ethnic and multi-cultural experience. The academic program will be complemented by a number of cultural activities, such as excursions and institutional visits, debates, readings, guest lectures, and fine arts presentations.
Faculty members are scholars and skilled practitioners, including former officers of the United Nations and other international and regional organizations, international attorneys, leaders of NGOs and private sector corporations, diplomats and government officials, activists from social society, economists, and a group of accredited university professors from all over the world. Working closely with these experts, the students will acquire the knowledge and the tools to develop and to implement strategic solutions that address critical global problems
