Geneva Graduate School of Governance:
Based in Geneva, Switzerland, the Geneva Graduate School of Governance (GGSG) is a bilingual English and French institution of higher education offering online and on-campus graduate education programs in specialist areas including governance studies, international development and social sciences, in addition to intensive training periods. The main language of instruction is English. International and national students are offered a choice of both online graduate certificates & master's degree programs in specialist fields, as well as intensive training periods. A certificate programme involves a year of study while a master’s degree has a two-year duration, but their course contents are very similar.

About Us:

The Geneva Graduate School of Governance is part of the Geneva Foundation for Governance and Public Policy. This is an independent, non-profit organization established under Swiss law to support post-graduate higher education, research, consultancy, public forum and publishing activities. At the Geneva Graduate School of Governance, the online graduate education provided by our institution is aimed at international careers in both the public and private sectors. Leadership development, communication skills and sound decision-making are important skills that will be developed through our programs.

The Geneva Graduate School of Governance also functions as a research, debate and consulting centre on public policy areas, as well as on change management, educational engineering, sectoral reform and institutional development.

Our Goal:

At the Geneva Graduate School of Governance, our main goal is to gain elite academic status in substantive areas of concentration of major international policy relevance that are rarely found together in university syllabuses.

Online Graduate Education Programs:
* Online Graduate Certificate programs (1 year)
* Online Master's (MA) Degree programs (2 years)

Fields of specialization
:

* International Governance, Trade and Development
* Risk & Disaster Management
* Labour Management & Migration
* Conflict Management and Post-Conflict Reconstruction
* Management of Energy & Natural Resources

- Online Ph.D Programs (Start in September & January each year):  Specialist areas include Political Science, Sociology, Economics and more.

Quality Academic Staff:

Our faculty consists of noted academics from European universities, as well as from further afield. Adjunct lecturers are selected from professionals based in Geneva and this ensures special emphasis is provided on practical considerations. Also, junior coaches offer students continuous, personalized support and guidance.

Factors to Consider When Choosing On-Line (Master or Certificate) Degree Programmes?
There is an obvious trade-off between the advantages of resident courses (face-to-face contact, experience in Geneva, etc.) and the possibility of studying at home, sparing the costs of living in Geneva. The course contents are strictly similar, and the decision may ultimately fall on student’s financial constraints.

The Geneva Graduate School of Governance will spare no effort to provide personalized academic guidance and help. On-line students must be able (and motivated) to learn independently. Where the choice is governed by the wish to study while pursuing existing gainful employment, if they are to be successful, students must be able to balance their virtual classes with their other responsibilities or activities.
