The centerpiece of the CAS Project is a full-day simulation in which participant groups face off against each other in a complex negotiation around a contemporary multilateral issue. In this challenging real-life atmosphere, participants are required to make use of all of the knowledge and competencies gained during the course in order to successfully reach an agreement with the other sides.

In their CAS thesis, participants consolidate their learning through an interdisciplinary thesis linked to their institutional or professional context. They apply the tools and knowledge acquired during the programme to develop a practical and relevant solution to a governance challenge.

This module enables participants to understand and assess political communication and information-processing techniques, strategies and activities. It also enables them to identify different negotiation situations and apply respective negotiation approaches. These are important skills in order to effectively co-design policies through collaboration between scientists and political practitioners.

At the center of this module are the tools and frameworks necessary for representing an organization's interests. It enables participants to identify relevant stakeholders, to build effective advocacy and communications campaigns and to participate confidently in international negotiations.

This module explores the foundations of international policy and the varied context within which international projects take place. Participants are encouraged to connect their own areas of expertise and their own professional emphasis to these higher-order dimensions - a necessary foundation for sound decision-making and negotiation in a competitive international environment.

The course introduces students to the concepts, theories, and strategies of negotiation and is enriched with an extensive exploration of real-life case-study examples.

This module introduces students to the basic theories and competencies of public sector management, with an emphasis on negotiation and communication, through lectures, case studies and group exercises.

The programme equips the next generation of leaders in the public sector and other governance-related fields with the competencies needed to navigate complex environments, bridge diverse perspectives, and contribute to effective governance solutions.

This module centers on the negotiation process and prepares students to prepare for and carry out a variety of negotiations. Participants are enabled to apply the learnings directly through a series of mini-negotiation simulations, as well as in-depth discussions of real-life case studies
