Students in the Master of Arts in Transatlantic Affairs (MATA) spend one year on each side of the Atlantic in this joint degree program, administered in conjunction with the College of Europe. Students starting the MATA program at Fletcher will gain breadth of knowledge through coursework across the School's three divisions: International Law and Organizations; Diplomacy, History and Politics; and Economics and International Business. Additionally, a joint, year-long and project-oriented course on transatlantic affairs is required for all MATA students. The second year commences with a high-level internship in an international or national institution within the corporate or civil society sector. The program will culminate in the completion of a Master's thesis on transatlantic affairs drawing upon the insights and support obtained on both campuses.
