SIT Study Abroad Switzerland: International Studies & Multilateral Diplomacy (Summer)
Immerse yourself in the world of multilateral diplomacy and learn the art of conflict resolution and prevention in an international arena.
WHY GENEVA?
Build the skills and knowledge required for multilateral diplomacy at the center of the action: Geneva, where you’ll learn from top academics and experts at research institutes, United Nations agencies and other nongovernmental organizations. While immersed in the city of international diplomacy, you’ll enjoy Francophone culture and the summer splendors of Lake Geneva, such as swimming, boating, and picnicking. It’s a great opportunity to build your international network and make contacts with top experts on the use of multilateral diplomacy in conflict resolution and prevention, international humanitarian law, managing complex emergencies, and migration.

IMPORTANT NOTES:
Application Process
There is a dual
application process for this program. (1) Students must apply to for
permission to study abroad on this program; you can do this by clicking the "Apply Now" button. At the same time, (2) students apply directly to the program for
admission. The program application can be accessed on the program website. Please pay close attention to both the IWU and program deadlines, as they may be different.
Tuition Cost
IWU has a
home-school tuition policy, which means that students studying abroad will be billed the regular IWU tuition—unless the study abroad tuition is higher, in which case the student pays that higher cost. Unless otherwise noted, IWU does not charge room and board for studying abroad; instead, students pay those costs to the program provider.
