Diplomacy is a specialisation within the International Relations programme at Lazarski University in Warsaw, taught in English over three years of full-time bachelor's studies. It is for you if you want to master international negotiation and diplomatic communication.
Modern diplomacy reaches well past contact between governments. It covers climate negotiations, humanitarian response, security dialogues and global digital governance, and it asks for strong analytical skills and the ability to work in multicultural environments. The programme teaches this step by step through case studies, simulations and expert-led discussions. Assessment is varied, with presentations, policy briefs, debates and group projects, all under British academic rules and grading standards.
The specialisation focuses on:

Classes run in small groups taught by professionals who have worked in diplomacy themselves.
You study in English and can add French or German as a language elective, a useful base for work in diplomatic and international settings.
