PG Information Session: UN Career Development and Newcastle-UNITAR International Law and Policy Immersion Programme
Postgraduate students only
If you have an interest in international relations and affairs, how international rules are negotiated and developed, how international organisations formulate policies on trade, security and human rights (among many others), and how these global decisions affect states, individuals and businesses at the local, national and international levels, then this information session is for you.
We are excited to be welcoming Mr Julian Caletti, Associate Programme Officer at the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR) on Friday 1 November 2026. Mr Caletti will talk to students about our joint International Law and Policy immersion programme and about UN Career Development: Entry Points into the UN System.
The International Law and Policy Immersion Programme enables students to spend a week in Geneva and to develop their understanding of how international decision-making and diplomacy work in practice through workshops and professional skills development training. After its successful launch in July 2026 whereby a group of 12 of our students immersed themselves in UN consensus building, international law and policy, sustainable development goals, security and gender-based violence, forced displacement, negotiation skills and techniques, public speaking skills, global diplomacy, and career development, we will soon be opening the registration process for participation in this year’s immersion programme. If you want to find out more about the programme and about a career in the United Nations, then you are more than welcome to attend the session.
When: Friday 13 November 13 2026, 13:00-14:00
Where: Henry Daysh Building G13
Who: Mr Julian Caletti, Associate Programme Officer, UNITAR
