Students are required to take one of two foundation courses, Global Governance or International Diplomacy, and a course in Research Methods for the Social Sciences. These courses take place over Michaelmas and Hilary terms. Students also choose two eight-week options from a list of choices, such as:

• Climate Change Diplomacy
• Diplomacy and International Law
• Global Financial Governance
• International Relations of the Developing World
• Multi-level Governance and Regional Integration
• Peacebuilding and Statebuilding
• Political Economy of Institutions and Development
• Politics of Non-governmental Organisations
• Security Issues in Fragile States

As an alternative to one of their options, students may also choose a course from a selection of options available on other ODID Masters programmes. In the past these have included:

• Power and Punishment: Creating Social Order in Africa
• Rural Societies and Politics
• State, Governance and Natural Resources in Contemporary Latin America

Students are examined in all of these courses and options, and are also required to conduct supervised research and prepare a 10,000–12,000 word dissertation to be delivered towards the end of Trinity Term.
