Truly the best investment I have ever done in my entire career
International Security and Diplomacy education allows you to look into the reality of political life around you. This programme is carefully designed to make you go through the most essential elements of academic and practices in the world. All professors have intensive experience not only in academic line of thinking but also in the practical world of politics. It touches upon real and ongoing issues in the Middle East region and in the world. For example, during the academic year, several issues erupted in the region and globally. Wikileaks and the start of the Arab Spring. It was amazing how relevant everything that was taught appears to participants and how easily we could all click to and analyze these new events that will have a turning point in the history of the region as well as the history of diplomacy and politics.
Israel lives the heart of conflict areas and is involved in several of these conflicts. Nevertheless, TAU team of professionals and experts give you an incredibly neutral perspective and are open to debates of all kinds. As a Palestinian I did not feel for a moment any hostility or discriminative act. Guest speakers including senior diplomats and ambassadors are invited to share their perspectives allowing participants of the programme to see how diplomacy works and how talented those people are.
This programme is international. You get to meet and share experience with people from around the world. A very important factor in this line of study and it also allows one to start almost immediate practice of what is being presented in various classes.
This degree allowed me to immediately dare and challenge other applicants for more senior positions.
