Through our core activities, we aim to promote international cooperation and contribute to the progress of developing societies. More broadly, we endeavor to develop creative thinking on our time's significant challenges, foster global responsibility, and advance respect for diversity. We are a cosmopolitan community located in the heart of Geneva, an international city, and a center of global governance. By intensely engaging with international organizations, NGOs, governments, and multinational companies, we participate in global discussions and prepare future policy-makers to lead tomorrow's world. The Graduate Institute is an institution of further education that offers study programs, executive education, and expertise in international relations and development studies. It seeks to offer an independent and rigorous analysis of major contemporary global issues as part of efforts to promote international cooperation and make an academic contribution to less-developed societies' progress. The Institute offers students from all over the world an opportunity to undertake advanced bilingual (English-French) disciplinary and interdisciplinary (Masters and PhDs) studies intended to give them the high-level skills necessary to make an essential contribution towards peace and development. The Institute combines teaching and academic research with expertise and executive education to respond flexibly to public and private international actors' needs. Thanks to its position in Geneva, it can benefit from the many international governmental and non-governmental organizations in Geneva and the city's diplomatic missions. It offers the international community and the Swiss diplomatic community a forum for meetings and a forward-looking reflection platform. The Institute is the focal point for the Swiss Network of International Studies. This network includes the University of Geneva and other Swiss academic partners, intended to strengthen international studies in Switzerland and encourage, following in the tradition of its predecessor, the RUIG, cooperation between academic institutions and international organizations. The Institute also maintains and develops partnerships and participates in international exchange networks. The Institute is governed independently according to a clearly defined set of responsibilities for all its entities and a management system based on efficiency and flexibility principles. The Institute encourages widespread participation in its activities. The Institute offers public service and is supported by financial contributions from the Swiss Confederation and the Canton of Geneva. As part of efforts to fulfill the objectives it has set for itself, the Institute seeks to diversify its sources of funding to increase the number of scholarships it can offer and create employment opportunities. We are well-placed to meet this challenge thanks to several comparative advantages: Our cosmopolitanism, which allows students from over a hundred countries to experience global diversity and build lifelong connections A small community, which facilitates close and productive interaction between teachers and students A remarkable wealth of expertise, which includes both accomplished specialists and junior researchers (Ph.D. candidates make up nearly half of the student body) and is reinforced by our commitment to interdisciplinary cooperation Our strong ties to International Geneva, with its range of actors (diplomatic missions as well as international and non-governmental organizations) and focus areas which are crucial to the future of our world (humanitarian action and human rights, trade, peacebuilding, the environment, migration, health, and more), providing numerous opportunities for cooperation An international network of academic partners, notably in the principal emerging countries, offers our students valuable study and research exchanges. A commitment to excellence, upon which our reputation is based and which guarantees the value of our diplomas Our Institute has earned a worldwide reputation for preparing students for international careers. We are committed to strengthening this reputation by building upon tradition and encouraging innovation, but above all, by ensuring our graduates' professional success, whether they choose to pursue careers in the public sector, the private sector, or the non-profit sector. Whichever path they follow, they will benefit from an education that combines intellectual rigor with a practical focus to allow them to make a beneficial impact on our world. View full university

HEI has since extended its activities to the training of polyvalent engineers, open-minded to the world, humanistic in managerial approach with the added plus of an international and intercultural profile. Since 2009, the HEI preparatory classes (more than 700 students) have been held in the Irène-Devos building at 31 ter rue Colbert, a new residence overlooking the city, 800 m from the historic building. The 5000 m² building, which was refurbished in 2009, offers a pleasant and useful working environment featuring the latest ICT equipment. The practical workrooms and some departments are still at 13 rue de Toul, in the historic building, to keep the essential spirit of school alive through the integrated preparatory class. HEI has access to new areas in a building in rue Roland: redesigned, it is home to the HEI researcher laboratories. Grouping them under the same roof in this research building encourages the crossover of their expertise and their work. Some 130 years later, the school continues to pursue this mission through three core activities: the training of engineers and executives, industrial applied research and development, and extension services to the business world, including technology transfer. Since the creation of the school, these dimensions have defined the identity of HEI.

Since 1947, the EHESS (École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales, School of Advanced Studies in the Social Sciences) has pioneered innovative methods and ideas that have made landmark contributions the evolution of the humanities and the social sciences. An interdisciplinary approach, global outlook, and critical spirit are cornerstones of the EHESS philosophy. They have informed some of the most well-known French scholars, such as Fernand Braudel, Pierre Bourdieu, Jacques Derrida, Claude Lévi-Strauss, Françoise Héritier, and Thomas Piketty. The École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales (School of Advanced Studies in the Social Sciences) is a graduate-only research institution with a unique standing in the world of research and higher education in France. It hosts scholars from all over the world committed to studying contemporary societies seen within broad cultural and historical contexts. It trains students up to the Ph.D. level in all social and human sciences (history, anthropology, sociology, economics, geography, linguistics, psychology, demography, cognitive science, political science, philosophy, and mathematics). With its high percentage of international students and faculty, EHESS has created a unique global academic network. With over 1,000 round-table seminars a year, in which faculty and guest scholars present and discuss their current research with students, EHESS occupies a central position in French intellectual life. EHESS was founded in 1984 as a 'grand établissement' alongside the College de France, the Institut d’études politiques de Paris, and the Conservatoire national des arts métiers. The School's unique status was recognized in 1985 by ministerial decree, which clearly defined its mission and organization: it is structured around research training for Master's and Ph.D. students, as well as students of its own EHESS Diploma and candidates for the Habilitation à Diriger des Recherches (Accreditation as a Research Supervisor). EHESS maintains close links with several French universities and research institutions operating within its disciplinary fields. It is a member of Paris Sciences & Lettres (PSL) University, which comprises 26 prestigious self-governing academic and research institutions. It will join the Campus Condorcet, a new urban campus for Humanities and Social Sciences, in 2019. As an institution dedicated to developing all forms of scientific knowledge concerning human interactions and relationships, EHESS has long been considered an "innovation hub" for the Social Sciences. For nearly 70 years, the School has been a significant player in the renewal and reinvention of theories, methodologies, and practice in history, anthropology, and sociology. The School has also promoted and supported inter-disciplinary collaboration between cognitive sciences and philosophy, poetry and mathematics, and is the home of a new institutionally accredited school of thought in economics, the success of which is internationally recognized. EHESS has its origins in the Economics and Social Sciences department of the Ecole Pratique des Hautes Etudes (EPHE), created in 1947 under Lucien Febvre. Over the following three decades, this department was highly influential in carving out a place for Social Sciences as an epistemological domain in its own right. It is a space for inter-disciplinary exchanges focusing on a joint research object: human societies. As Director of the Economics and Social Sciences department of EPHE since 1972, Jacques Le Goff worked to create an independent institution: the Ecole des Hautes Etudes en Sciences Sociales (EHESS). The School was established by decree on January 25, 1975. In the early 1970s, it was housed at 54 Boulevard Raspail in Paris, in the same building as the Maison des Sciences de l'Homme, founded by Fernand Braudel. From the very beginning, it was the seat of several influential research centers that provided an intellectual home for some of the greatest historians, sociologists, anthropologists, and philosophers of the time, including Pierre Bourdieu, Jacques Derrida, François Furet, Françoise Héritier, Claude Lévi-Strauss, and Jean-Pierre Vernant. The EHESS attracts students from all over the world, who come to benefit from a complementary approach that combines an in-depth analysis of the past with research that is explicitly directed at understanding today's world. Students and researchers come together in seminars, which have been the traditional locus of training for research through research since the foundation of the School. Ever since its official launch as an independent institution in 1975, the EHESS's mission has promoted debate between researchers on concepts, disciplines, and cultural areas. To celebrate its foundation as an independent institution, many scientific and artistic events were organized throughout 2015, which celebrated the diversity and richness of current research and the innovative potential of future work in the Social Sciences. From the outset, EHESS was designed as an international institution. This is evidenced by the high proportion of foreign researchers (22%) and students (approximately 50% of Ph.D. and Master's students) within the School. This international outreach is a hallmark of the School. It has enabled EHESS to develop a strong and extensive network of academic exchange programs with leading universities worldwide. Many of its researchers have achieved worldwide recognition for their work, and contacts are maintained and fostered thanks to their regular trips abroad. In 2017, EHESS signed 61 cooperation agreements with international partners. Researchers head all these agreements. The international mission of EHESS has three primary objectives: disseminating the scientific work of the School through major international institutions, facilitating exchanges between academics from different scientific backgrounds, and monitoring and bringing to public attention the most innovative developments in present-day research. In the sphere of social and human sciences, which have become increasingly international in recent years, it is essential to build research networks and develop projects with scholars from other countries. This concept lies at the heart of the School's philosophy. It has led to the development of several new research centers focused on "cultural areas," in which 42% of Master's students and 50% of Ph.D. students come from overseas. EHESS has a long-standing history of promoting and supporting international exchanges through short-term invitations ("Petites Invitations"), enabling faculty members to invite colleagues from abroad to participate in their seminar series co-supervision of Ph.D. students (309 co-supervised Ph.D. theses per year on average over the last five years) the active support and promotion of international mobility for researchers and graduate students the development of international training and research projects funding for international post-doctoral positions. Each year EHESS hosts between 150 and 200 visiting professors from every corner of the globe. These professors are affiliated with one of the School's research centers, where they participate in various scientific activities. EHESS has continued to nurture its contacts with former international alumni who have become recognized academics in their countries of origin and have built strong links with other eminent scholars. We are committed to the idea that individual relationships are the primary source of intellectual exchange and seek to support and promote ongoing dialogue between permanent staff, visiting professors, and former international researchers and students. The geographic locations of EHESS alumni can be seen on this map. View full university

Thus far, students from 66 countries have completed one of these programs. In 2010, a Double Masters Programme with Warwick University was also launched, with students required to spend the first year at Warwick and the second year at RSIS. A select Doctor of Philosophy program caters to advanced students supervised by senior faculty members with matching interests. International students have to apply for a Student's Pass from the Immigration & Checkpoints Authority to pursue full-time studies in Singapore. The Student's Pass is only issued to full-time students and not to part-time students. International students who wish to pursue programs on a part-time basis should obtain employment in Singapore before applying for admission to the University and should ensure that they are permitted to work and reside in Singapore throughout their study by the Immigration & Checkpoints Authority. Passport holders of specific countries, including China and India, must have a valid visa before entering Singapore. The University will assist successful international applicants in their applications for the Student Pass. This partnership covers the entire continuum of officer education, from the SAF Warrant Officer School (SAFWOS), Officer Cadet School (OCS), the SAF Advanced Schools (SAS), to the Goh Keng Swee Command and Staff College (GKS CSC), housed within SAFTI Military Institute (SAFTI MI), the Home of the Officer Corps. Spanning accredited (post-graduate and undergraduate) and two educational frameworks broadly cover non-accredited modules and courses, the SAF's leaders' education. Under the SAF-NTU Strategic Partnership, which supports the SAF's Continuing Education Programme in partnership with the SAF-NTU Academy (SNA), MSP conducts accredited Master's and undergraduate courses in two SAF programs. For the first, MSP delivers two Master's modules at the GKS CSC, designed to educate the senior SAF officer with the necessary skills to understand the dynamic and complex nature of international relations and the study of war, providing CSC students an opportunity to complete a Master's degree in RSIS. The latter accredited Undergraduate Professional Military Education and Training (UGPMET) Course is designed to give the SAF's young officers an essential foundational knowledge in military studies and regional geopolitics necessary for their careers. The second framework, known as the Military Studies and Geopolitics (MSGP), is a series of courses focused on providing relevant and incisive learning in regional geopolitics, strategic studies, and the study of war, conducted at OCS, SAS, and SAFWOS. These courses are designed to help prepare the SAF officers for their profession at arms at various careers. The Asia Pacific Programme for Senior Military Officers (APPSMO) and the GKS CSC Seminar, both held annually, are two other critical programs focused on Executive Education, conceptualized and organized by MSP on behalf of RSIS. These are critical networking and educational seminars and conferences, bringing academics, military professionals, and other stakeholders together to engage in areas of mutual interests. Other than the SAF courses, MSP conducts lectures at the Unit Commander Course at the Civil Defence Academy as well. This program aims to give SCDF officers a historical and comparative perspective of Singapore's Civil Defence and the emerging threats to Singapore's security. Besides, RSIS also conducts a Regional Security Module for the Home Team Academy, culminating in a RSIS Certificate in Regional Security. This module intends to enhance senior officers' understanding of the regional and global dimensions of threats to Singapore's security. RSIS staff regularly speak at external conferences organized by prolific organizations and collaborate with other think tanks in their research and networking engagements. They are recognized through the various appointments and research grants on top of being awarded prizes. RSIS is a leading research think tank in Asia. It is among 82 nominated as one of the leading think tanks globally in the 2016 Global Go To Think Tank Rankings done by the University of Pennsylvania. RSIS also runs post-graduate programs that have attracted students from more than 50 countries around the world. RSIS' achievements in research have been possible only because of donations from supporters such as the Singapore Totalisator Board, Ngee Ann Kongsi, Lee Foundation, Temasek Foundation, Ford Foundation, Sasakawa Peace Foundation, and from philanthropists such as Mr. Lee Seng Tee. Without their generosity, we would not have come so far in such a short time. View full university

To keep up with international standards of education, all programs utilize the most up-to-date curricula available, enabling Ibn Sina to play a significant role in providing society with competent, highly qualified physicians and pharmacists. Meeting local demands, Ibn Sina was the first College to successfully create an avenue for both Saudi and international students who are unwilling to study abroad to have an opportunity to gain excellent private medical education within their home or resident country. Supporting the students in their efforts to get the best opportunities at the College to pursue excellence in their chosen programs is the topmost priority for us at Academic Affairs. The ISNC-RC serves and is currently represented by four programs at the Institution, namely, Medicine, Clinical Pharmacy, Dentistry, and Nursing Program. Investigations by the researchers of these programs include, but are not limited to, biomedical, clinical, educational, and public health. These areas give ample opportunities to ISNC‐RC to pursue research, education, and community service to serve the mission of the Institution. The ISNC-RC collaborates between four different college campuses to advance research and outcomes in health sciences. The mission of ISNC-RC is "To facilitate the institutional research process and encourage the staff and students to participate in original research activities." The Medical Education Unit (MEU) is a newly established academic unit that serves all the College's four programs. It is involved in all aspects of the education process and assessment at Ibn Sina College. This includes curriculum development and reform, preparing syllabi and student guides, and proposing and tailoring innovative educational methods to advance the educational process to keep pace with medical sciences' continuous progress. The MEU also takes care of upgrading and systematizing student assessment in knowledge, skills, and attitudinal aspects. The MEU is also involved in evaluating education programs and proposing solutions for development and continuous quality improvement. A significant job of the MEU is to upgrade the academic staff members' capabilities to suit their educational, research, and service responsibilities and make them qualified enough to help the College achieve its mission. The MEU pays particular interest in research in different medical education sciences. Its members share featured research plans and projects with enthusiasm for sharing research findings in specialized international conferences. The Quality Assurance Centre (QACr) acts as the Quality Assurance Committee's executive arm and its sub-committees.

Welcome to the Doha Institute for Graduate Studies, a new higher education institution whose aim is to foster the highest standards in graduate teaching and research in the humanities, social sciences, public administration, and development economics. The DI is wholly dedicated to graduate studies, making it unique among institutes of higher education in the Arab world. Bringing together first-class scholars from Australian, European and North American universities, most of whom are of Arab descent, together with leading scholars from Arab universities, we aim to build an academic environment in which these scholars will work with selected students from Qatar and the rest of the Arab world to achieve excellence in every area of the DI's work. Our small staff-student ratios will facilitate intense interaction of students with faculty, promote peer learning, nurture intellectual curiosity and underpin critical awareness to form a community of practice rooted in its native soil while interacting confidently with global knowledge. To express this vision, Arabic will serve as the primary instrument of teaching and research at DI without neglecting other languages as essential partners. Through our compulsory core courses, we also seek to provide students with cross-disciplinary perspectives by engaging some of the most significant debates in the humanities and social sciences throughout history. Knowledge of these debates forms part of the infrastructure of human knowledge and the attendant intellectual literacy that emerging Arab scholars must have to become competent academic citizens of the world. At the DI, we firmly believe in the necessity of combining theory with practice and service to the community. As a socially responsible institution, we consider local capacity building to be an essential part of our society's contribution. Our faculty, therefore, seek to engage both the government and voluntary sectors with programs that serve their needs. At the same time, our students will be able to augment their theoretical knowledge with practice-oriented experience by taking advantage of the unrivaled opportunities offered in two of our sister institutions: the Arab Center for Research and Policy Studies Doha Historical Dictionary of Arabic. Studies are offered at the master's degree level in two schools: the School of Social Sciences and Humanities and the School of Public Administration and Development Economics. The Center for Conflict and Humanitarian Studies at the DI offers a master's in Conflict Management and Humanitarian Action. The DI welcomed its first cohort of students in the academic year 2015-2016. It is planned that student enrollment will eventually reach between 350 and 400, with study at the doctoral level gradually opening at the start of the 2017-2018 academic year. Designated as a not-for-profit, private institution, the DI is operated exclusively for educational, research, and public service purposes. It was founded in 2014, as an autonomous legal entity, by the Arab Center for Research and Policy Studies. The DI is licensed as a national institution of higher education by the Supreme Education Council of Qatar. View full university

Founded in 2006, the University of Applied Labour Studies UALS (Hochschule der Bundesagentur für Arbeit - HdBA) is publicly recognized and accredited by the German Council of Science Humanities (Wissenschaftsrat). Each year, around 500 students at the two university sites in Mannheim and Schwerin are qualified in dual bachelor programs to become guidance experts for education, career, employment, and labor market management. The three-year degree program is comprised of nine four-month trimesters rather than semesters. What is unique about the HBA: The course is a work-and-study program (dual studies) in which theoretical education alternates with experimental phases. The students spend five trimesters at the university in Mannheim or Schwerin. They do four internships in an Employment Agency, Jobcentre, company, chamber, or abroad during that time. Thus, the practical part is given much more weight than in many other universities, allowing the students to gain experiences in real working life early on. Guidance and labor market experts trained by the UALS have to possess specific professional, methodical, social, and personal skills. This is why the curriculum includes a well-balanced combination of subjects from economic, social, educational, and legal sciences complemented by expertise in labor market policy, labor market-related services, and guidance – precisely the kind of skills needed by professionals for the Federal Employment Agency. Besides teaching, the professors also spend time doing applied research and development in guidance, placement, and integration and organize further scientific training courses for the BA's staff. Although the UALS is supported and financed solely by the Federal Employment Agency, it acts independently in all academic aspects. As a result, all skills taught here can also be applied outside of the BA, e.g., in the field of public management or HR service providers. Not only does the UALS have an excellent student-faculty ratio, but it also gives students of the bachelor courses a financial advantage over their fellow students at other universities, one that is especially important for young people at the beginning of their careers: They receive attractive remuneration already during their studies which allows them to concentrate on their courses fully. Once graduated, they can launch their career. The master's program is designed for the Federal Employment Agency employees who want to obtain further scientific qualification while continuing to work. Being close to the labor market is what many young people have when they start to study. The students want to feel that they chose a seminal subject that opens up a variety of perspectives and allows them to start a job immediately after graduating. The courses should have as much practical relevance as possible, be challenged intellectually, varied, with intensive support from teachers and the right studying conditions. The University of Applied Labour Studies (UALS) is capable of meeting all these expectations. It offers a highly practice-oriented, interdisciplinary, and professionally attractive course of studies and guarantees excellent job prospects. Nowhere else are students as close to the labor market as here: The UALS is the Federal Employment Agency's (BA) pool for recruiting young talents. Synonymous with competent career guidance, placement, and employment promotion, the BA is also one of Germany's most prominent employers with some 90,000 employees, a fact that is frequently overlooked. To qualify skilled personnel for assuming the varied tasks involved in implementing the general labor market policies, the University of Applied Labour Studies (UALS) needs a course offer that combines specific economic, social, and legal sciences. What is more, the University of Applied Labour Studies (UALS) offers a unique curriculum with its focus on guidance sciences. Although the training at the UALS is primarily geared to the BA's unique requirements, the students are also qualified for tasks outside of the BA that overlap with the BA's range of services, e.g., in the field of public management or HR service providers.

He Hochschule für Jüdische Studien Heidelberg (HfJS) was founded in 1979. The Central Council of the Jews supports it in Germany (Zentralrat der Juden in Deutschland), financed through the local and federal government, and is a fully recognized and accredited institution of higher learning. Nowhere else in Europe can Jewish studies be pursued with incomparable breadth and depth. This allows the HfJS to impart to its students, both Jewish and non-Jewish, the richness and diversity of Jewish religion, history, and culture within an academic context. With ten professors and as many Assistants, the HfJS is today the leading center for Jewish studies in Europe. Due to the recognition that the HfJS has attained, it has become a primary source of information for politicians, the media, churches, and other educational institutions and, since 2007, a member of the College Rectors' Conference (Hochschulrektorenkonferenz). The HfJS views itself as a part of a community wherein it can catalyze understanding and dialogue. Its task is not merely the advancement of academic research and knowledge but also to serve as a bridge between the Jewish community in Germany and society. In its public lecture series "Heidelberger Hochschulreden," such noteworthy luminaries have spoken as Chancellor Angela Merkel, Marcel Reich-Ranicki Joschka Fischer. The HfJS has also involved a wide array of academics, students, and others interested in Jewish religion and culture through its various publications: "Truman," the academic journal of the HfJS, and its book series "Schriften der Hochschule für Jüdische Studien". An electronic newsletter is also published regularly that offers news and information about the HfJS. "…and thou shalt meditate therein day and night" (Joshua, 1:8): Originally, this excerpt has been thought to refer to the "Book of the Torah." But in the 19th century, the "Wissenschaft des Judentums" applied this phrase to the whole of Jewish religion and culture. Nevertheless, the movement's institutions of Jewish higher education in Breslau and Berlin remained isolated from the scientific landscape, having been ultimately dismantled during the National Socialist Regime. Later founded by the Central Council for Jews in Germany in 1979, the Hochschule für Jüdische Studien Heidelberg chose this phrase from Joshua as its guiding principle to be followed following its various meanings. In doing so, the HfJS fosters the legacy of the "Wissenschaft des Judentums" by further developing its approaches into an active part of the surrounding scholarly terrain. The Hochschule für Jüdische Studien Heidelberg is a dynamic scholarly discussion that incorporates all facets of Jewish religion, history, cultures, and societies. While the proximity to the historical heritage of Ashkenaz provides the decisive impetus for both academic and religious work at the HfJS, its interest invariably extends beyond to all areas of geography and chronology as to consider Jewish cultures at large: in the past and present within a self-reliant Judaism within the Diaspora and likewise within the land of Israel. The Hochschule für Jüdische Studien Heidelberg opens its doors to all students and scholars—regardless of their respective origins and creeds. It also undertakes a dual track, which is demonstrated by the mere layout of the HfJS itself: The scientific Albert Einstein Library is situated, albeit with seminar rooms between them, in juxtaposition to the corresponding house of learning, the Beth Midrash. Here within the same institution, the learning of foundational religious texts of Judaism with the campus Rabbi meets the study and scientific discourse among members and academic staff. Equipped with a kosher cafeteria, the HfJS caters to its members' needs for nourishment and a relaxing social atmosphere. The interplay between internal and external perspectives allows the Hochschule für Jüdische Studien Heidelberg to hone its view on religion, history, culture, and society. After all, the teachers and graduates will refine our knowledge of Jewish history and theology. As a center of excellence unique in its field to Europe, the HfJS distinctly enables diverse resources and prospects both within and outside Europe's Jewish communities. The HfJS provides intense language training at all levels (in Biblical, Rabbinical, and Modern Hebrew, and Hebrew-scripted languages, such as Yiddish and Judeo-Arabic). It offers degrees in accredited B.A. and M.A. programs taught in German and an international M.A. partnership program in "Jewish Civilizations" taught in English together with Paideia—The European Institute for Jewish Studies in Sweden. Finally, the HfJS also provides a Ph.D. in Jewish Studies (Dr. Phil.) in cooperation with the University of Heidelberg. In Jewish studies, the B.A. offers to students of the HfJS a course of study that is focused on the humanities and cultural studies. It is not connected to any particular denomination or confession and requires no previous Hebrew knowledge, nor does it presuppose a familiarity with the Jewish religion, history, or culture. The general studies portion can count as 75%, 50%, or 25% of the study's full course. Students who chose this path focus on the sources of Judaism: that is, the sacred texts of Judaism and their interpretation throughout history the history of the Jewish people Jewish philosophy, art, and literature as well as other thematically associated fields. In this way, the inquiry object is time and again viewed through several academic disciplines' perspectives. After completing the B.A. with a portion of at least 50%, the course of study can be continued to acquire the degree of M.A. in Jewish Studies. In the course of the student's M.A. studies, the knowledge gained during the B.A. will be expanded and deepened. The comprehensive course offerings at the HfJS makes it possible for students who aspire to the M.A. in Jewish studies to specialize in an area of study according to their choosing. The M.A. degree qualifies graduates for Ph.D. study. View full university

An Executive Mini-MBA program in cooperation with IIBN presents cutting-edge management know-how and all the necessary tools for the top professional manager. This pragmatic and results-oriented program covers leadership, management, HR-management, process & operating management, financial management & business performance management, and more. The UBIS Executive Mini-MBA is designed to prepare you for top management positions by developing your potential and unique contribution to the global marketplace. This program is not an academic program. The theory is vital, but sometimes nothing can replace the experience received from others who have shared their successes. All UBIS faculty have real-world experience at a top management level and bring this knowledge to their classes. As the department most directly dedicated to student life in Geneva, the UBIS Student Services office is committed to helping UBIS students wherever it can. It mainly focuses on providing the students with a customized experience from the day they arrive to the day they graduate. Geneva is an international city that benefits from all advantages of a relatively big city and all its inconvenient, and more precisely, housing. Finding a place to live in Geneva is very difficult because of the city's specificities: a multicultural and multilingual town that welcomes an essential number of foreigners. One of UBIS specialties is to take personal care of VIP students who, for whatever reason, cannot or do not want to attend a regular curriculum and go through the standard examination way. UBIS has developed a family approach to ensure that the student is accompanied during his learning period, taking much more into consideration of the particular way, how the student is going to learn, including his/her schedule and wishes. The objective of UBIS VIP services is to make sure he/she reaches the diploma in the time frame and conditions well defined at the admission stage. UBIS enjoys privileged collaborations with prominent corporations and with a prestigious international organization. This, and the fact that we are based in Geneva—the European HQ of a wide variety of public organizations, NGOs, and a significant number of international corporations—ensures that our students are best positioned for a preferred entry in the global job market. This is why we believe that UBIS is your red carpet to professional success: joining UBIS, you will study in business class. UBIS is proud to partner with various organizations to enhance the experience that students and participants have with us. As one of our goals is to be close to the corporate world, to open for our participants and students, new opportunities, collaborations will be looked at with that objective in mind.
