The Graduate Institute is an institution of research and higher
education (Master and PhD). Selective and cosmopolitan, it is located in
the heart of International Geneva and specialises in the study of the
major global, international and transnational challenges facing the
contemporary world. It also offers professional development programmes
and expertise to international actors from the public, private and
non-profit sectors.
The Graduate Institute’s history dates back to 1927, the time of the League of Nations, when it was created as the first institution in the world dedicated entirely to the study of international affairs. The year 1961 saw the birth of the Institute for Development Studies (known at the time as the African Institute), a pioneer in the field. In 2008, the two institutes decided to unite under the same roof, thereby combining the study of international relations and development in a unique way.
