The Geneva Graduate Institute is a higher education institution and a pioneer in the exploration of global issues. Through our core missions – academic research, teaching, expertise and forum activities – we produce and share knowledge on international relations, development issues, global challenges and governance.
We offer 2-year disciplinary master programmes, and 4-year PhD programmes, in Anthropology and Sociology, Economics, International History and Politics, International Law, and International Relations/Political Science. We also offer a 2-year interdisciplinary master degree in International and Development Studies, as well as several one-week summer programmes and an undergraduate semester programme.
Our 1,000 students come from over 100 countries. 85% are international students.
Located in the heart of International Geneva, a centre of global governance, we build on scientific excellence and transdisciplinarity to foster critical and creative thinking on the major challenges of our time. By engaging with international organisations, NGOs, governments and private sector actors, we participate in global discussions on the future of multilateralism and prepare a generation of engaged and responsible decision-makers for leadership in a radically uncertain world.
