Applied Diplomacy
“We impart basic knowledge on international relations, but above all applied diplomacy. This includes the protocol as well as other skills to progress in international relations.”
Dominique Ursprung, Deputy Head Center for Geopolitics and Competitiveness
Today, diplomacy is no longer the preserve of professional diplomats alone. Many key players such as cantons, regions, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), multinational companies, and private individuals interact on the international stage.

Continuing education
In the age of globalization, politics and the economy are more closely connected than ever.
The DAS Applied Diplomacy teaches practical and up-to-date knowledge in the areas of diplomacy, international relations, communication, and information security and instructs practitioners on how to deal with the increasing complexities of interrelationships between the public and private sectors.
The DAS Applied Diplomacy consists of three courses:
the CAS Foreign Affairs and Applied Diplomacy, the continuing education course in Diplomacy in the Digital Age, and the continuing education course in Diplomacy & Information Security – as well as a final diploma thesis. These individual course elements can also be completed independently.
