    graduate degree program, provides students with the hard

    and soft skills they need to excel in their eld of specialization

    global economy and markets, global institutions, or global

    civil society. An international internship with one of the

    Munk Schools top-tier partner institutions ensures that

    students develop key strategic, policy, and management

    skills and gain critical global experience.

    The University of Torontos Munk School of Global Affairs

    and ideas that are at the frontiers of knowledge. Against

    the backdrop of one of the worlds most diverse cities,

    the Munk School is convening a vital dialogue

    about the forces that are reshaping the international

    landscape creating an environment which will

    equip students to thrive in a world where working

    internationally demands not only professional skills

    but strategic agility and cultural uency.
