Study Diplomacy in Trier (2026/27)

Germany is an exceptional training ground for international students pursuing diplomacy, offering world-class programmes at the heart of European and global governance. Prestigious institutions such as the Diplomatic Academy at the Federal Foreign Office, the Hertie School of Governance in Berlin, the University of Potsdam's Public Policy programme and the German Institute for International and Security Affairs (SWP) collaborate within a diplomatic ecosystem that encompasses 227 German missions abroad and 178 foreign embassies in Berlin. This prepares the next generation of diplomatic professionals to navigate an increasingly multipolar world, with proximity to EU institutions. Students engage with real-world challenges, from mediating the Ukraine crisis to climate diplomacy at COP summits, through comprehensive curricula that masterfully integrate international law, negotiation theory, diplomatic history, protocol, and crisis management with hands-on training in public diplomacy, multilateral negotiations, track-two diplomacy, and digital statecraft.
