The Clinton Institute offers two Graduate Diploma programmes. These programmes share module content with their MA counterparts but do not involve a thesis component.
Graduate Diploma in American Politics and Foreign Policy
Graduate Diploma in Media and International Conflict
Graduate Diploma in Media & International Conflict
This Graduate Diploma in Media and International Conflict is designed to enable students to develop an understanding of the ways in which media interact with war, international conflict and security. It analyses the complex roles played by the media in the enactment and representation of international conflict and addresses the relationships among media, governments, the military, and NGOs in framing perceptions of international conflict.
The programme will interest those seeking a career in international communications, professionals seeking more critical understanding of the international dimensions of their industry, and those wishing to prepare for advanced research in this area.
Graduate Diploma in American Foreign Policy
The United States is the most influential nation in the world. However, a number of challenges in recent years have called into question the sustainability of American leadership abroad and prosperity at home.
This programme, which is the first of its kind in Europe or North America, allows students to explore in depth the foreign policy and political challenges facing the United States.
Eligibility
Applicants for the Graduate Diploma should hold one of the following qualifications:
● A first class or second class, grade 1 degree. If a student receives 2:2 they will be considered but must be interviewed first, either in person or via Skype.
● A US or Canadian degree with a GPA of 3.5 or higher.
● If an applicant does not meet the normal entry requirements of a Level 8 degree, in exceptional circumstances they would present another qualification or award along with extensive work experience in order to be considered.
