offers an innovative programme of study in political economy that is unique in Europe and goes well beyond the narrow limits of traditional teaching in mainstream economics. The programme offers students a distinctive and stimulating intellectual breadth in terms of economic theories and methods, the objects of economic inquiry as well as its normative conclusions. It incorporates the socio-political and historical foundations of economic activity as an explicit part of its curriculum. To that end, it is enriched by perspectives from other social sciences, notably from sociology, political science and history, but only to the extent that they are concerned with economic phenomena such as the social relations that incorporate a trade or monetary dimension, that influence the distribution of economic resources or that shape the allocation of power. For that reason, the Master in Political Economy of Capitalism is designed for students who are seeking a solid foundation in political economy rather than a multidisciplinary programme. The curriculum is organised around a core group of obligatory courses that will give students a solid grounding in the political economy of capitalism. Students then develop basic knowledge and skills in three areas of inquiry by choosing from a selection of courses in comparative political economy, economic history and international economics. Finally, they have the opportunity to tailor their programme to their own interests by choosing from a list of optional courses. As an integral element of their Master's degree, students will write a dissertation based on their own original research in political economy, conducted under the supervision of an instructor in the programme, with the option of continuing their research in political economy by writing a doctoral dissertation being available to excellent students.

is a natural extension of the Bachelor in Political Science. It is designed to strengthen the training acquired at the Bachelor level, to develop research skills in political science and to prepare students for the next stage of their professional development, whether they choose to enter the labour market or pursue an academic career. This Master's programme offers students a choice of three specialisations composed of three courses in their chosen area of specialisation and two required methodology courses.

SPECIALISATION OPTIONS:

• Political Behaviour
• Comparative and International Politics
• Political Theory

is offered through University of Geneva's Institute for Environmental Sciences (ISE). ISE pool distinct disciplinary expertise and backgrounds from various faculties, including the Faculty of Science, the Geneva School of Social Sciences and the Geneva School of Economics and Management.

This Master program aims at interdisciplinary teaching and research within current dynamic and fast growing environmental fields such as climate, energy, water biodiversity, human ecology, urbanism, governance and health.

Bridging these fields is the cornerstone of the curriculum offered to students - committing themselves to environmental careers or to fundamental research - an interdisciplinary approach to environmental sciences based on natural sciences and economic as well as social sciences.

Ultimately the master's program, enable the students to professionally navigate within complex and interdisciplinary environmental context far beyond the usual sectorial approach. This broad understanding of fields in natural sciences and economic and social sciences entailed in environmental management is a unique academic offering in Switzerland.

AVAILABLE SPECIALISATION MODULES:

• Biodiversity ecosystems and society
   
• Climatic impacts
   
• Sustainable development and urbanization
   
• Energy
   
• Water sciences

The Master's in Public Management is an interdisciplinary programme with strong European and international foundations. It is a point of intersection between the academic and professional worlds, and helps students to master the tools and principles of effective and efficient management of public policy and organisations. It offers a critical examination of the current re-evaluation of the role of the State and the various proposals to reform government, liberalise public services, and privatise public companies. Students may complete a work placement in lieu of a thesis.

This Master's programme is the sole Swiss partner of the prestigious EMPA (European Master in Public Administration) network, which includes around ten institutions renowned for their public management studies programmes. Students of the Master's in Public Management may spend one semester at a partner university. In addition to the Master's from UNIGE, students have the possibility of obtaining the European EMPA degree.

proposes a gender-based reading of the social world and its power relations. Social interaction between the sexes is a central aspect of all societies and is therefore a vital research focus for the social and human sciences. The goal of the Master's programme is to provide students with the concepts and tools for understanding and analysing current social trends from an interdisciplinary perspective. In line with this objective, students are taught to apply shared concepts, formulate targeted research enquiries to explore gender-related issues, and mobilise the methodologies of various disciplines.

trains future sustainability managers for the private and public sectors. The programme is quintessentially interdisciplinary, involving three disciplines: sociology, management and economics. Courses are primarily taught by in-house professors, external teachers who work in various organisations in Geneva, and teachers appointed by the International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) with the approval of the scientific committee. The course programme is divided into 3 units. The first and largest unit is composed of required classes on the three foundational topics of the Master's (standardization, social regulation and sustainable development). In the second unit, students take elective classes from the Master's programmes of the University and the Graduate Institute for International and Development Studies. The third unit of the programme is devoted to students' work placements and thesis projects.

teaches students the most up-to-date - and inherently political and cultural - critical approach, one that has profoundly changed the face of human geography in recent years. Students will learn to analyse how imaginary geographies and systems of domination are interconnected, and how these are involved in the production of objects and spatial structures. Not only is this Master's on the leading edge of scientific developments, it also takes an innovative approach to teaching - for example, the use of a documentary film-making workshop as an educational tool.
