English for Diplomacy and International Relations

Apply for the training program

Overview

English is now the leading international lingua franca. It is, de facto, the predominant language in political institutions and in business. For diplomats and international actors, proficiency in this language—and their ability to understand and communicate with ease—is both a necessity and a guarantee for maintaining fruitful relationships and contributing more actively and constructively to their country’s global efforts.

This language program, organized in partnership with the Cambridge Training Institute, is designed to strengthen students’ listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills in professional contexts related to diplomacy and international relations.

Through real-life scenarios, it enables participants to master the uses and nuances of the English language and to acquire the specific vocabulary needed for discussions, negotiations, and communication in an international setting.

This program, available in-person and online, can be customized and tailored to the level and expectations of a trainee or target group.
