The Diplomatic Academy of London (DAL), possibly also known as the London Academy of Diplomacy, is an institution that is not "recognised or "listed" (is unaccredited) in the United Kingdom.[2] It says that it offers MA, MPhil and PhD Degrees and training programmes in Diplomatic Studies and International Relations on-line. It is little known among experts in the field,[3] but attained a certain notoriety in the USA due a claimed association by Joseph Mifsud, who reportedly had sought to connect Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign with Russian governmental officials.[4] Mifsud says that he established the academy.[5]

Variations of the name

Various permutations of the name and personalities (which may be coincidental) have been associated with a number of UK Universities:

Similar but unconnected names

The UK's Foreign and Commonwealth Office has a Diplomatic Academy (in London) but the similarity of name is coincidental.[8]
