About us
Founded in 2007 as the College for Advances Studies of Diplomacy in Practice, the organisation was created by enthusiastic young people studying at the Faculty of Social Sciences of Corvinus University of Budapest with the aim of complementing their theoretical knowledge with practical knowledge.
In 2017, the organisation was accredited as a college for advanced studies, it is called the College of Practical Diplomacy, the main aim of providing a deeper understanding of the world of foreign policy and diplomacy, as well as a broad and critical perspective on economic, cultural and current social issues through various professional programmes and events.
