MA Int'l. Econ, Business & Cultural Diplomacy (Reg Track)
Program Overview
Hochschule Furtwangen University (HFU), in collaboration with the ICD Academy for Cultural Diplomacy, offers a program structured according to the traditional university format.
The two academic years are divided into four semesters: students complete the first two semesters at the Center for Cultural Diplomacy Studies (CCDS) and the final two semesters at Furtwangen University.
- Semester 1 consists of three mandatory modules & two facultative courses
- Semester 2 consists of the Professional Development Training program & 2 facultative courses
- Semester 3 consists of mandatory modules, including Academic Research & Writing
- Semester 4 involves writing a final thesis on a related topic (subject to review & mentor approval) and submitting it at the end of the semester
All courses are taught in English so proficiency in German isn’t necessary. If you’re a non-native English speaker, you must be able to submit proof of at least a CEFR B2 level. A BA degree is also required, though you’re eligible to join the pre-enrollment process as a current undergraduate as long as you have good standing.
