Diploma in Religious Studies - Masters Degrees and Postgraduate Studies in Religious Studies, Department of Politics, Philosophy and Religion PPR, Lancaster University, UK

MA in Diplomacy and Religion

This new programme is designed to encourage students to consider the practical processes, ideological dynamics and theoretical dimensions involved in the interface of diplomacy and religion. The programme is relevant to those thinking about or currently working in diplomacy, international NGOs, and international policy and politics. Distinguished diplomatic and foreign policy practitioners directly contribute to elements of programme. Students may also opt to participate in trips to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office in London, European Union organisations in Brussels and the Geneva international organisations are planned. In addition to its complementary core modules in diplomacy and religion, the programme uses a wide range of optional modules in, for example, international relations, religious studies, politics, and policy. A 20,000 word dissertation gives students opportunity to undertake an extended project which focuses upon one or a number of dimensions relating to the interface of diplomacy and religion.
