More About the new M.A. Program

Faculty members from Webster's International Relations department in Geneva have collaborated with experts at the International Organization for Migration and at other partner organizations to develop a new, groundbreaking curriculum.   The program (see more HERE) offers students a unique opportunity to explore, investigate and understand these cross-cutting issues in Geneva--at the forefront of multilateral affairs.

Students will be embedded in the multilateral context of Geneva throughout their studies—a tremendous advantage for learning and gaining real-world, practical insights.  They will be surrounded by diverse international organizations and actors engaged at the forefront of international policy and dialogue regarding migration, displacement, disasters, environment and climate change--as well as with intersecting issues of human rights and sustainable development, for example.

The program will regularly include guest speakers and site visits across the city, and an optional integrated internship into the study program.

Webster University Geneva is uniquely poised to deliver such a program, given the unique location of Webster University Geneva Campus (just 5 kilometers from the U.N. District in Geneva), our faculty expertise, and our longstanding networks within Genève internationale.  

The program has been approved by the University's Graduate Council for launch in October 2021.  The M.A. will both prepare students for relevant employment opportunities across the public, private and non-governmental professional sectors as well as prepare student-scholars for pursuing further academic work in this domain in a postgraduate or PhD program.

A special scholarship fund has been allocated for supporting candidates with partial tuition assistance as we build the first cohort (to begin in mid-October 2021).

Q&A will follow a presentation of the program.  Members of the Webster Geneva admissions team will also be in attendance for questions about applications and/or financial aid.
