Season 1, Ep. 4

As global defense and diplomacy evolve, so do the pathways to enter these fields. In this episode, we sit down with Mrs. Neha Mishra to unpack the shifting balance between academic degrees, specialized certifications, and real-world experience in international relations, defense, and security.

From the influence of institutions like JNU, King’s College London, and Georgetown, to the rise of micro-credentials and online certifications from platforms like edX and Coursera, this conversation explores what truly defines “credibility” in a fast-changing world.

Whether you’re a student considering a master’s in International Relations or a professional looking to transition into defense and policy roles, this episode offers grounded insights on how to make smart education choices—balancing prestige, practicality, and purpose.
