The American University of Paris

Master of Arts in International Affairs, Conflict Resolution and Civil Society Development

 

 
 

Two-year fully bilingual program

 
 

The MAIA program is a four semester program comprised of 54 credits. The program is composed of five courses taken at AUP (20 credits) and four courses taken at our French partner university (16 credits). In addition to these 9 courses there are 4 required modules (8 credits), these are short workshop style seminars taught by visiting professionals working in the fields of: International Affairs, Conflict Resolution and Civil Society Development. The final 10 credits are fulfilled with a required thesis writing seminar (2 credits) and a thesis (8 credits).

Students should take note that the Sorbonne runs on a French academic calendar that does not coincide with AUP’s academic calendar. The classes at the Sorbonne start later in the academic year and therefore finish later the following spring. Final semester exams are often scheduled as late as February for the fall semester and June for the spring semester. The Sorbonne vacation breaks during the academic year do not coincide with those at AUP.
