The Graduate Institute of International Studies is pleased to announce the availability of a limited number of scholarships in connection with the launch of two new Masters programmes in International Relations from October 2006.

Master in International Studies (MIS)

The Master in International Studies (MIS) is a two-year programme that will replace the current Institute DEA programme as of October 2006. It is designed for students wishing to develop expertise in one of the disciplines of the Institute (International Economics, International History and Politics, International Law, Political Science). The programme prepares students for doctoral studies, research and careers requiring strong professional skills in the public and private sectors. The degree specifies the discipline of specialization.

The curriculum involves intensive training at an advanced level in the main
discipline in specialized courses and seminars, writing a master’s thesis, as well as some familiarization with at least one other discipline. Students are also offered the opportunity to focus their studies on international policy issues in which the Institute has developed a strong competence given its location and the profile of its faculty.

Master in International Affairs (MIA)

The Master in International Affairs (MIA) is an innovative two-year programme designed to prepare students for an international career in the public, non-profit and private sectors. The curriculum is primarily designed for students with a Bachelor’s degree in one of the four disciplines of the Institute and provides them with a unique opportunity to develop an inter-disciplinary approach to international issues.

The curriculum combines a theoretical preparation in economics, history, law and political science, courses, three areas of concentration (global and regional integration, security and conflict management as well as global society), interdisciplinary seminars and electives. The curriculum also emphasizes the development of the technical skills necessary for effective analysis and decision making (quantitative methods but also negotiation and project management) and encourages internships during the course of study.
