Pursue in Geneva two international degrees in International Relations and Diplomacy in 1 year from two highly ranked institutions – International University in Geneva and the University of Plymouth, UK.
 

The Master of International Relations and Diplomacy (MIR) responds to the growing demand to train young professionals in Geneva for decision-making careers in international organizations, diplomatic services and private sector. Situated in the same city as the United Nations headquarters in Europe, the program takes full advantage of Geneva’s unique situation as a world capital of multilateral diplomacy. The MIR provides substantial resources for its international faculty and student body to network with international institutions (UNHCR, UNECE, UNCTAD, WTO, WHO, ILO, ITU, WIPO, WEF, ICRC) and diplomatic missions.
 

Students may select a unique option: undertaking the IUG master in IR consisting of 14 taught modules and extending their studies to include an individual research dissertation to gain the award of MA IR at University of Plymouth (UK). Upon successful completion of 12 out of 14 taught modules, at IUG, the student can progress directly into the dissertation stage of the MA IR at UoP, which would be an extra 4 months duration without leaving Geneva.
 

In addition to core international relations courses, with a focus on the United Nations system and the European Union, foreign policy and geoeconomics, global economy and economic diplomacy, the Master of International Relations and Diplomacy curriculum trains young professionals for decision making positions with courses in international trade organizations and statistics, executive communication and negotiations, multimedia and internet.
 

The Master of International Relations and Diplomacy is comprised of 14 courses taken over one year.
