Advantages & strengths
Diplomacy is becoming an increasingly prominent area that every country is interested in and prioritizes developing in the context of globalization. In this trend, Vietnam has need for qualified professionals in International Relations who have strategic foresight, policy-making skills, strong professional expertise, and fluency in foreign languages to support administration and foreign affairs.
DTU’s doctoral and master’s programs in International Relations combine academic rigor with practical relevance, to help students master in-depth knowledge of international economics and contemporary international politics, such as ASEAN in the 21st century, the international economic integration of Vietnam, and economic and cultural diplomacy.
Program objectives
Building on undergraduate-level studies, students in the master’s program in International Relations are equipped with professional principles that allow them to identify the nature and characteristics of issues. This enables them to make more accurate and precise predictions about the development of international relations and the course of integration, and to independently analyze the future foreign policies of a country or a regional or international organization. Students are trained in scientific research methodologies and issues in an independent, self-directed, and effective manner.
