The Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies, Geneva, provides independent and rigorous analysis of global contemporary issues to public and private international actors. The Graduate Institute is an internationally recognized institution for higher academic learning and research, with its roots tracing back to 1927 as one of the first institutes to offer international studies in Europe. The Graduate Institute offers Master and Ph.D programs in the field of international relations (economics, history, political science and law) and development studies as well as a substantial amount of scholarships (200 for a total student body of 800).
The Graduate Institute is furthermore part of the APSIA Network, which regroups the world’s most renowned schools of international affairs and is regularly quoted amongst Europe’s top three institutions specializing in international affairs. It counts amongst its alumni former UN secretary general Kofi Annan, Hans-Gert Pottering (President of the European Parliament), Hernando de Soto (President of Peru’s Institute for Liberty and Democracy), as well as the current foreign ministers of Switzerland, Micheline Calmy- Rey, and Mexico, Patricia Espinosa. The students of the Graduate Institute acquire high level knowledge and skills preparing them to take up leading positions in the fields of international affairs and development. As a hub of multilateral diplomacy, Geneva provides our students with job and internship opportunities in the many IOs and NGOs that are neighbouring the Institute, such as the WTO, UNHCR, WIPO, ILO, IRCC, Amnesty International, UN Geneva Headquarters and many more.
