Overview

The International History and Politics Department of the Graduate Institute – the oldest school of international relations in Europe located in Geneva, the site of historical international organisations and historically of the League of Nations – enables students to pursue historical research and analysis in the context of the Institute’s anchoring in both the humanities and the comparative analysis of contemporary policy and governance.

Features

A degree in International History and Politics at the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies can lead to a career as an international historian and it also provides a set of tools for a practical career in politics and diplomacy as well as in the private sector.

The same methods that make for a great international historian are a tremendous, indeed indispensable asset in the world of global politics.
