“The Institute’s location in Geneva is a perfect setting to learn the intricacies of the major international organisations involved with global health. Due to their extensive experience in this area, the Professors at the Graduate Institute provide insider views on complex aspects of global health. Few lawyers can genuinely market themselves as a specialised attorney in the growing field of global health law. That is what makes this degree so unique as it provides a great opportunity to navigate an interesting and growing field that has a truly honourable mission. Additionally, Geneva is a vibrant city and is a place where people from all nations unite.”
