LYCEUM OFFERS FOREIGN SERVICE EXAMS REVIEW

Lyceum of the Philippines University (LPU) will offer a review course for the Department of Foreign Affairs’ (DFA) Foreign Service Examinations (FSO) from June 6 to August 15, 2008.
This is in answer to the need expressed by the DFA, which conducts a yearly FSO examination to recruit new officers in response to the expanding demands of the Philippine Foreign Service. The FSO exams are normally given in August or September following a pre-qualifying test given earlier in May.
LPU, through its College of International Relations, in its Intramuros campus, will offer the review course, consisting of 90 class hours over a period of five weeks, to those who have pre-qualified and other interested parties. LPU thus reaffirms its position as a leading institution in the teaching and study of international relations, diplomacy and foreign policy. Many of its graduates have joined the DFA, serving in various positions as ambassadors, career ministers, consuls general and others.
Teaching will be conducted through intensive and comprehensive lectures, allowing for questions and short discussions on a wide range of subjects including Philippine history, geography, politics and government, arts and cultural conditions, consular practices and migration, maritime problems and issues, foreign policy, international law—politics-economics-trade, diplomatic practice and protocol, English essay writing and others. There will be no written test, except in the English Essay Writing where grades may be given. The curricula, it is explained, is based on the fact that the FSO exams are keenly attuned to test examinees on the depth of their understanding and knowledge of events and developments, their analytical capability and English writing skills.
All lecturers are experienced diplomats, university professors and other professionals. Classes will be held every Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 5:30-8:30 PM, at the LPU campus, Muralla cor. Real Sts., Intramuros, Manila. Registration period will be from April 21 to May 31.
Interested participants may visit LPU or call telephone 527-8251 to 56 local 132.
