UN University!

I don’t know why it hadnt occurred to me before that the United Nations must have a University! In a moment of randomness I googled it and it EXISTS! Of course it is a no frills course for post graduates only but the fact that it exists has put me over the moon and I wanted to share it with all of you.


“The UNU International Courses (UNU/IC) are organized annually for a select group of postgraduate students and professionals in various occupations (with a college or university degree) in Japan and abroad who wish to pursue careers in international fields in public-service or private organizations, including the United Nations, multinational corporations and non-governmental organizations, as well as national foreign service organizations.”

I. Governance of Emerging Global Issues

“The work of UNU continues not only at the Headquarters in Tokyo, but all around the world. The key focus areas of peace and security; good governance; development and poverty reduction; science, technology and society; and environment and sustainability continue to draw attention to the most pressing issues facing the global community.”
