Are We Right for You?
Thank you for your interest in the Economics unit of the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies. Each fall, we welcome a new class of approximately 20-25 Masters students and 5-10 PhD students representing more than 20 different countries on average. The Department looks for applicants of exceptional academic talent, but also seeks students with an enthusiasm for economics and a desire to use economics to make an impact on the world. The admissions process is highly selective and based on a detailed application package that you are asked to submit. Strong candidates with external Masters degrees in economics from universities of top world-wide reputation should consider applying directly to the PhD program. We encourage you to attentively review this section where you should find all the appropriate information to apply. We also recommend that you spend time reading the description of the program (Masters or PhD) in which you are most interested in the academics section. Should you remain with any questions, please browse through the list of Frequently Asked Questions, or feel free to send email to the department at economics@graduateinstitute.ch or for more general questions (such as the formal requirements for your application or the status of your application) to the Admission Office at (admission @ graduateinstitute.ch). Your decision to engage in graduate studies and your choice of educational institution is a personal and a complex one. To help you decide if the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies is the right place for you, we encourage you to browse through the sections below.
