Dual Master with the Global Studies Institute, University of Geneva

The Graduate Institute and the University of Geneva’s Global Study Institute have designed a new dual degree programme allowing students to obtain their master’s degree in three, rather than four, years. The programme was developed for students interested in pursuing studies related to international affairs, development studies and global health. 

In addition to becoming specialists in the global health domain, students will also gain an extensive understanding of international affairs or development issues.
