A short walk from these organisations, Institute allows students to benefit from excellent internship and job opportunities at the numerous international organisations and NGOs in the Geneva area. Our students enjoy successful careers within international organisations, the private sector, government, non-profits, NGOs, higher education and research: 80% of students find jobs within four months of graduating.
