The Azerbaijan Diplomatic Academy (ADA) is a school of international affairs preparing innovative leaders who will be able to meet the challenges of global competition. Its curriculum focuses on the academic study and practical application of politics, economics and law. Drawing on the best case practices from around the world, academic programs are delivered through degree and non-degree, full-time and part-time, resident and distance education programs.
The Academy has two components: Executive Education and a Graduate School of International Affairs.
Executive Education
ADA’s Advanced Foreign Service Program (AFSP) is a highly flexible program offering professional training to Azerbaijani civil servants working in the area of international affairs. The AFSP is designed to enhance skill sets of these officials and prepare them for public sector leadership. Students may choose from six areas of study, including:
- Consular Affairs
- International Politics, Law and Organizations
- Economic Affairs
- Public Diplomacy
- Leadership Development
- Area Studies
Graduate School of International Affairs
ADA’s graduate degrees offer rigorous higher-education programs for Master’s candidates. These in-depth academic specializations range from:
- Master of Arts in Diplomacy and International Affairs (MADIA)
- Master of Management in Energy and Environment (MMEE)
- Master of Business Administration (MBA)
ADA considers on-the-job training to be a valuable part of an education. Each student at ADA will, therefore, have the opportunity to take part in internships during the time that they are enrolled.
Both the AFSP and MA programs require intensive language study through ADA’s English for Academic and Professional Purposes Program.
