Olivier Chamard / Geneva Academy
Every year, we award two prizes to graduating students for their exceptional academic work.
The Henry Dunant Prize, worth 5,000 Swiss Francs, is presented to a member of the graduating class for an original and didactical LLM paper that deepens, strengthens and renews the ideals and commitment of Henry Dunant. Through this award, the Henry Dunant Prize Foundation and the Geneva Academy motivate young people to disseminate knowledge on international rules that protect victims of armed conflict and states of emergency.
The Best LLM Paper Prize distinguishes a graduating student for an LLM paper of exceptional academic quality.
The Geneva Academy was an essential step in my academic and professional career, since it enabled me to acquire the tools to face professional challenges and master the ‘language’ of international humanitarian law and human rights. After my LLM, I could present myself as a trustworthy candidate with a proven interest in the topics, and the knowledge of how to merge theory and practice in this field.
We offer scholarships to outstanding students who are unable to secure the funding required to cover tuition fees and/or the cost of living in Geneva.
LLM students have the opportunity to be taught by leading academics in the fields of international humanitarian law and human rights.
Our objective is to produce graduates who will be leaders in the humanitarian, human rights and transitional justice fields.
Our research examines issues that are under-explored, need clarification, or are unconventional, experimental or challenging.
