Program Requirements

Although students enter into the Master of Diplomacy Combined Degree Program from the beginning of their studies, they can only proceed into the Master of Diplomacy upon gaining a distinction average in the coursework of their Master of Middle Eastern and Central Asian Studies.

For admission to the Master of Diplomacy/Master of Middle Eastern and Central Asian Studies Program, applicants must satisfy the [Master of Middle Eastern and Central Asian Admission Requirements |7100SMEAS]].

For admission to a combined program which includes the MDipl, an applicant must satisfy the criteria for admission to the related Field of Study degree whose coursework comprises the first part of the combined program.

To be permitted to enter the MDipl component of the combined program, an applicant must complete the coursework requirements of the related Field of Study degree with a distinction average across all courses (including the sub-thesis in the MA(MECAS)).

Students are then awarded both degrees at a single award ceremony.
