Students will enjoy a unique week-long immersion experience in Geneva, where they’ll have an unparalleled opportunity to visit international organizations and network with international development professionals. This will enable them to gain a better understanding of what kind of work awaits them after graduation.

Students will engage with top professionals from the UN system as they teach courses and participate in special events such as conferences, seminars, networking events and capstone projects.

The program’s curriculum focuses on the five P’s: People, Planet, Prosperity, Peace, and Partnership. During the first and second terms, students will touch on each one. They’ll learn how the UN is addressing these issues, and how to tackle them head-on by creating innovative solutions.

Students are encouraged to participate in UN field internships after graduation. IE Career Services helps to facilitate these experiences and provides career guidance.

Upon completion of the master’s program, each student will receive a certificate of accomplishment from the United Nations.
