Applications for the Executive Master in International Law in Armed Conflict open at the beginning of February and close at the end of April.

Successful applicants will receive by early May an admission letter via email (from executivemaster[at]geneva-academy.ch). Please also check your spam folder in May to avoid missing the acceptance letter.

 If you receive an offer, you cannot defer it to a later year. However, it is possible to reapply.

The Executive Master in International Law in Armed Conflict is a special opportunity to acquire, while working, a strong knowledge of public international law, international humanitarian law, international criminal law and human rights law. I need to learn about these topics and I can’t join a full-time programme due to my work commitments.
