The Master in International Relations (MIR) responds to the growing demand to train young professionals in Geneva for decision-making careers in international organizations, diplomatic services and private sector. In addition to core international relations courses with a focus on the United Nations system and the European Union, foreign policy and geoeconomics, global economy and economic diplomacy, the MIR curriculum trains young professionals for decision making positions with courses in international trade organizations and statistics, executive communication and negotiations, multimedia and internet.

 

Situated in the same city as the United Nations headquarters in Europe, the program takes full advantage of Geneva’s unique situation as a world capital of multilateral diplomacy. This provides substantial resources for its international faculty and student body to network with international institutions (UNHCR, UNECE, UNCTAD, WTO, WHO, ILO, ITU, WIPO, WEF, ICRC) and diplomatic missions.

 

Key benefits of the MIR program include:

 

  • learning in a dynamic environment with a multicultural student body and faculty working in academia and international institutions;
  • providing knowledge and skills to analyze international issues, prepare policy reports and participate in international decision making via international conferences and meetings;
  • exploring the United Nations system, international regimes, regional agreements and technical cooperation between states;
  • gaining insight into multilateral diplomacy being in the heart of “International Geneva”.

 

The MIR program is comprised of 14 courses taken over one year in the evenings.

 

MIR graduates engage in decision-making careers in: international organizations and diplomatic services; corporate business and financial sector; media, NGOs and civil society.
