Join Our Online Meetings for Prospective Students

6 November 2025

The Geneva Academy of International Humanitarian Law and Human Rights will hold two online information sessions to present its Master of Advanced Studies (MAS) programmes for the 2025–2026 academic year.

The sessions will provide prospective students with detailed insights into our Master of Advanced Studies programmes — including our renowned LLM - MAS in International Humanitarian Law and Human Rights, and an exciting new LLM - MAS focusing on international crimes, justice, and human rights, which builds on the legacy of our MAS in Transitional Justice, Human Rights and the Rule of Law.

Our team will present the programmes, admissions process, and career opportunities, followed by a Q&A. Whether you are interested in human rights, humanitarian law, or accountability and transitional justice, this session is your opportunity to explore the next step in your legal career. We warmly invite all interested candidates to join us and discover how the Geneva Academy of International Humanitarian Law and Human right can support their academic and professional aspirations.

Upcoming Information Sessions

Sessions will take place on November 12 and December 12 from 13h30 to 15h00.
