MA Int'l. Econ, Business & Cultural Diplomacy (Reg Track)
of the Hochschule Furtwangen University (HFU), in collaboration with the ICD Academy for Cultural Diplomacy
This program follows the conventional university structure, dividing 2 academic years into 4 semesters. You attend courses at the Center of Cultural Diplomacy Studies (CCDS) during the first 2 semesters and Furtwangen University for the final semesters.
- 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 isnt necessary. If youre 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 youre eligible to join the pre-enrollment process as a current undergraduate as long as you have good standing.
