EUCLID, an intergovernmental treaty-based organization with university mandate, offers to select students from the general public its flagship external (distance or online) degree program called the EUCLID Online Doctorate in Diplomacy and International Affairs (DDIA, which is a full PhD / Doctorate of Philosophy).
This field of study or specialization is sometimes called Doctorate in International Relations, but the “DDIA” label used by EUCLID emphasizes its focus on diplomatic practice rather than purely theoretical approaches.
It is the only online PhD program in diplomacy organized by an intergovernmental institution and officially used by active diplomats over 4 continents.
The EUCLID DDIA is an advanced program delivered by a treaty-based and treaty-practicing institution, and as stated by the United Nations in a rare instance of explicit confirmation, “the UN Secretariat recognizes Euclide- Pole Universitaire Euclide and the other four UN institutions … as being accredited.”
EUCLID’s Doctorate in Diplomacy and International Affairs represents 90 US credits (120 ECTS) of coursework beyond the Bachelor’s. In practice, students may enter the DDIA with a relevant Master’s degree, complete 30 to 35 US credits of core doctoral courses, followed by the actual writing of the dissertation in 5 phases. The resulting thesis should be a publishable book offering a clear contribution to the field and establishing the author as a subjet-matter expert.
Among the suggested areas of focus are:
