The Study Tour is carried out in addition to the training course in the classroom, through a full program of visits and conferences with experts and international officials in Washington and New York. Today, the two cities act as central nodes for international relations as they are the headquarters of the major international organisations (International Monetary Fund, World Bank, United Nations Palace), numerous lobbying agencies and prestigious universities.

The Study Tour in the United States provides students with a direct understanding of the complex dynamics underlying international politics and communication.

Air transfers and accommodation required for the Study Tour are the responsibility of the Master.
