Testimonial

«I have lived all over the world, interned with various international organisations and NGOs and have done a B.A. (Honors) in Economics from Miranda House, Delhi University. Joining the Masters in International Affairs programme at the Institute has been one of the best decisions of my life. I have had the best experience in terms of the education, faculty and, of course, the location Geneva. I chose this master because of its amazing programme that would equip me with the right tools to enter the public or the private sector. The one thing that I really love about the Institute is their Career Services and their weekly updates of the various internship and job offers. I think that it is one of the best institutes to study international relations and I would recommend it to anyone in a heartbeat.»
