Our two full-time degrees – the LLM in International Humanitarian Law and Human Rights (LLM), and the Master of Advanced Studies in Transitional Justice, Human Rights and the Rule of Law (MTJ) – offer a unique combination of high-level academic education and real-world practice.
Via internships, participation in moot courts, public pleadings, extracurricular activities or the study trip, students gather first-hand experience and practical knowledge. These facilitate their integration into the professional world.
Our objective is to produce graduates who will be leaders in the humanitarian, human rights and transitional justice fields.
During the year, our students benefit from the Career Services of the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies.
Our LLM students have the opportunity to acquire first-hand professional experience via internships with Geneva-based humanitarian and human rights actors
The Master in Transitional Justice combines high-level academic education with real-world practice, allowing students to develop the transferable skills necessary to succeed in the professional world.
During my LLM I interned with TRIAL International, working on universal jurisdiction and the TRIAL Watch database. Tracking down the prosecution of international crimes before domestic courts was a truly engaging task: justice happens oftentimes far from the spotlight, in lesser-known cases that demand our attention and deserve public recognition.
