About the Course

The course offers a well-researched and broad-ranging primer to the United Nations system. Consisting of an introduction to the complex UN family and its history, and a series of ‘snapshots’ of key UN functions, which are used to explore important UN themes and help learners develop important analysis, communication, and policy-based skills. The course is aimed broadly at people interested in learning more about the United Nations system, assuming a level of interest but no necessary previous knowledge, whilst also offering sufficient up to date research and new critical perspectives that it will also be of interest to people with more expertise or academic familiarity with the topic as well. The main aim of the course is to provide this wide-ranging introduction in a self-contained, but in-depth form, alongside the important practical skills necessary to understand and discuss UN affairs, and potentially lay the groundwork for greater engagement in future – either in civil society or in further study....

Very beginners-level, would also offer more quiz-based tests and longer video material, some casestudies where UN was succesful and some where they were not

This course was informativ, but a little bit too boring. Also, quizes would be much better than those assingments + the need to rate the others' work.

covers most basics although i had hoped for more depth, more critical analysis. its clearly written by those who still hold the Un as some noble institute, ignoring reality.
