Overview Of The Program

Launched in 2011, the International Civil Servant Student Enrollment (ICSE) is a two-year, full-time program that provides special training for students interested in pursuing a career in government administration. The program is jointly administered by the United Kingdom's Foreign Office and the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade. Students interested in applying for this course must be either currently or have previously studied – or are currently studying – at a higher education institution in the UK or Australia. The course is not open to applicants from other countries.

The curriculum of the ICSE program is designed to provide the student with the practical and theoretical tools necessary to function effectively as a civil servant. The program aims to give students the knowledge and experience necessary to succeed in their roles as international civil servants, and also to prepare them to work effectively within multilateral organizations such as the United Nations.

Apart from the practical training component, the ICSE program also offers specialized theoretical instruction through a mix of classroom teaching and online learning. The training is centered around four themes:

Lifelong Learning

One of the distinguishing features of the ICSE program is its emphasis on practical and theoretical learning. All students, regardless of their previous knowledge or experience, are encouraged to get involved in the training by taking an active role in the learning process. The aim is for the student to leave the program with the theoretical and practical knowledge necessary to succeed in their roles, as well as strong communication and interpersonal skills. In line with this objective, the curriculum of the program is designed to be both theory- and practice-based – and interdisciplinary in nature. In order to reflect this emphasis on practice-based learning, the program provides a variety of opportunities for students to engage with various governmental agencies and multilateral organizations, as well as with external experts and specialists. This is intended to help the student develop an understanding of the real-world application of what they have learned during their studies.

Capacity Building

Another important aspect of the ICSE program is its focus on developing the student's professional and interpersonal skills. The program provides a range of opportunities for the student to engage with and learn from leading specialists in their fields. In addition to allowing the student to develop their professional skills, these activities also aim to promote active citizenship, develop an understanding of global issues, and enhance the student's employability. One of the unique aspects of the program is its focus on international capacity building. In the words of the course description, the program "aims to develop the student's knowledge and understanding of global issues, and equip them to contribute effectively to addressing these issues, regardless of their employment opportunities."

Empowerment

The final unique aspect of the ICSE program is its focus on providing the student with the practical and theoretical tools necessary to make a positive change in the world. The program provides a space for the student to explore and develop their interests while still pursuing a career in government service. The student will be encouraged to find their own personal and professional strengths while also capitalizing on their study and training opportunities. The overall aim is to foster an empowered and independent outlook among the students, and prepare them to be the best possible representatives of their countries at international level.
