To be permitted to enter the MDipl component of the combined program, an applicant must complete the coursework requirements of the related Field of Study degree with a distinction average across all courses. Students enrolled in a ‘Field of Study’ degree as a separate enrolment may transfer to the relevant combined program provided that the first degree has not been awarded.

Although students enter into the Master of Diplomacy Combined Degree Program from the beginning of their studies, they can only proceed into the Master of Diplomacy upon gaining a distinction average in the coursework of their Master of Public Policy. Students are then awarded both degrees at a single award ceremony.
