Application Deadline for UNU
International Courses is January 31
The courses, which will be taught in English, are intended to give students a deeper understanding of selected global issues as well as help them to sharpen their analytical and problem-solving skills and develop specific research skills. Each course will be taught by a team of both in-house and outside experts, including practitioners from a number of different UN organizations.
These courses are open to postgraduate students and professionals from Japan and abroad who are interested in working in international fields in public service or private organizations, including the United Nations system, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), multinational corporations and national foreign-service agencies. Tuition is ¥100,000 for one course or ¥150,000 for two courses (the maximum that can be taken simultaneously). A limited number of scholarships will be available for applicants from developing countries who can demonstrate financial need.
The UNU/IC programme will be offered annually as an integral part of the UNU’s training and capacity-building activities. Participants who successfully complete each UNU/IC course will receive a UNU certificate of completion.
