The Geneva Graduate Institute is home to students from all over the world. Roughly 1,000 students from 100 countries are enrolled in our various programmes.
The Graduate Institute strives to support talented scholars from around the world. Affordable tuition fees and financial aid enable our MA and PhD students to complete their studies with less pressure.
90% of our students find work within four months of graduation. A degree in international history and politics at the Geneva Graduate Institute can lead to a career as an international historian and it also provides a set of tools for a practical career in politics and diplomacy as well as in the private sector. Our alumni have secured employment with the European Commission, Médecins sans frontières, HSBC, World Economic Forum, UBS and elsewhere. Others have taken up doctoral, post-doctoral or faculty positions at Cambridge University, Princeton, Boston University and the University of St Andrews, to mention just a few.
The Graduate Institute is a specialised school serving a very diverse community in the heart of International Geneva: nearly 20-25% of people in the Swiss city are connected to an international institution. The Institute’s close ties with the international community are reflected in the five social science disciplines taught here, all imbued with a global perspective.
