Join Our Online Meetings for Prospective Students

1 October 2024

Applying to our programmes – the LLM in International Humanitarian Law and Human Rights and Master in Transitional Justice, Human Rights and the Rule of Law – and moving to Geneva to study at the Geneva Academy is an important decision, and many questions can arise when you apply:

  • What are the main strengths and components of the LLM in International Humanitarian Law and Human Rights?
  • What are the main strengths and components of the Master in Transitional Justice, Human Rights and the Rule of Law?
  • What are the differences between these two programmes?
  • What are the entry requirements of both programmes?
  • How selective is the application process?
  • Do you offer scholarships and am I eligible?
  • What type of career support is provided?
  • What about life in Geneva?
  • Are the master programmes full time?
  • Do you offer internships and professionalising activities?

To respond to these many questions, we organize online Q&A information sessions that allow prospective students to exchange with our Student Office.

‘These sessions precisely aim at both presenting our programmes and hearing from prospective students. We very much appreciate these exchanges that allow us to clarify our application process and one’s journey from the submission of an application to the enrolment in our programmes’ explains our Head of Education Dr Clotilde Pégorier.

Upcoming Information Sessions

These information sessions take on Fridays from 13:30 to 14:30 (Geneva time, CET) and are scheduled as follows:

  • 04 October - information session
  • 18 October - session with teaching assistants
  • 8 November - session on admission and scholarship
  • 29 November - session with alumni
  • 13 December - session on admission
