Publish Date: Jul 04, 2021

Deadline: Sep 13, 2021

WHAT WE OFFER

We offer partial and full scholarships for our LLM in International Humanitarian Law and Human Rights (LLM), as well as full scholarships for our Master of Advanced Studies in Transitional Justice, Human Rights and the Rule of Law.

Partial scholarships cover tuition fees. Full scholarships cover tuition fees and living expenses in Geneva for 10 months.

LLM

We only provide full scholarships for citizens of non-western countries (full list of eligible countries available here).

We also provide every year a partial scholarship for EU citizens.

These scholarships are allocated through a highly competitive process based on criteria established by scholarships donors, and which notably include academic merit, extracurricular achievements and the candidate’s financial needs.

APPLICATION

Scholarship requests must be submitted with the candidate’s application.

When applying, you must choose between two tracks: application with scholarship (partial or full) or application without a scholarship.

If you apply to both tracks, your application will be considered under the non-scholarship track. Successful applicants who choose only the non-scholarship track cannot subsequently be considered for a scholarship.

FOR STUDENTS PRESELECTED FOR A SCHOLARSHIP

To secure their places within the programme, selected students with a scholarship will have to pay a non-refundable deposit of CHF 150.
