Neutrality

This has once again become an issue. Given the massive growth of the student body over the past 4 years, I do not see how it can qualify as a "small" institution.129.194.252.130 (talk) 18:53, 28 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

neutrality

this article feels like it is written by the university's marketing department, it is full of weasel words and lacks any form of objective description. this is wikipedia, not a break in the superbowl.

I have made the article more neutral, please remove the disclaimer. Thanks.

Several aspects of this article question the neutrality of its author.

A reliable source is needed for the statment: "In academic and professional circles, the Graduate Institute is considered one of Europe's most prestigious institutions." - IHEID does not participate in any rankings, it's current mother university, the University of Geneva, does not rank in the top 100 world universities by reputation and I have not seen any journal or academic sources ranking its courses. The two sources presented are not from professional circles and are anecdotal.

A reliable source is needed for the statement: "The Graduate Institute is continental Europe's oldest school of international relations (Aberystwyth University in Wales was founded in 1919) and was the first university dedicated solely to the study of international affairs." The political science faculty was renamed the faculty of International Relations/Political Science only in 2011, so it is unclear if this claim is valid without another source.

Kofi Annan studied, but did not graduate from the Graduate Institute of International Affairs and hence his inclusion as an alumnus - without this disclaimer - is questionable. (Source: http://books.google.ch/books?id=0NJMpuQ40gYC&lpg=PA26&ots=m_dlA0o48h&dq=Kofi%20Annan%20%22Graduate%20Institute%20of%20International%20Studies%22&pg=PA27#v=onepage&q=%22He%20did%20not%20earn%20a%22&f=false)

Completely agree with both points. I'll rework them now. Dysase (talk) 09:45, 18 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

List of prominent graduates

I do not agree to include a list of graduates of the Graduate Institute of International Studies (IHEID's predecessor) in the article and name them as IHEID graduates. This is simply wrong, as at the time of their studies the IHEID had not yet existed (the two predecessors had not yet merged). Wikipedia has an article on IUHEI, therefore the list of prominent graduates can be - and is already - included there. Kind regards --RJFF (talk) 00:27, 25 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Merger proposal

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.

The result was merge. -- RJFF (talk) 22:38, 10 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I propose to merge Graduate Institute of International Studies (IUHEI) into Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies (IHEID). The latter is mostly a continuation of the former. Only the much smaller Graduate Institute of Development Studies (IUED) has been absorbed in 2007/2008. Still, the IHEID can be seen in continuity of the history of IUHEI. It does not make much sense to depict the history of IHEID without referring to the history of IUHEI. Therefore, there tend to be several redundancies in both articles. Your thoughts? --RJFF (talk) 13:29, 27 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Hi there, yes I agree, I think this is what makes more sense. -- Cheers — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.56.172.160 (talk) 15:03, 27 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes, I think a merger would be in order. NauticaShad es 16:58, 29 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Remove list of alumni?

Hi everyone,

Since the List of alumni of the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies already has a dedicated page, I don't believe it would be necessary to duplicate the list on this page. Perhaps it could be an option to keep some names (e.g. presidents, heads of government, and pullitzer and nobel prize laureates) and remove all the others in order to avoid duplication?

Notable faculty

The section on notable faculty shouldn't be deleted. Faculty members are notable for accomplishments described in their Wikipedia pages. Most Wikipedia pages of universities have notable faculty sections - this one should be no exception. Robinsonodora (talk) 04:00, 26 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Master in International and Development Studies

This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest was declined.

The Geneva Graduate Institute recently merged its formerly separate Master of International Affairs and Master of Development Studies into one programme: the Master in International and Development Studies. Could the English translation page be updated to reflect this?

Under the heading "Degree programmes", it would be preferable to entirely delete both Master of Arts in International Affairs (MIA) and Master of Arts in Development Studies (MDEV) programme subheaders and their text, which are listed below:

Master of Arts in International Affairs (MIA)[edit] The MIA is an intensive two-year interdisciplinary Master programme which begins with a rigorous foundation in quantitative and qualitative methods and in all the disciplines of the institute. In addition to their coursework, students must typically complete a capstone applied research project, two skills workshops, and a thesis between 15,000 and 25,000 words. Students can choose to specialize in one of three thematic tracks: Trade & International Finance; Global Security; and Environment, Resources & Sustainability.

Master of Arts in Development Studies (MDEV)[edit] The MDEV is an intensive two-year interdisciplinary Master programme which begins with a rigorous foundation in quantitative and qualitative methods and in all the disciplines of the institute. In addition to their coursework, students must typically complete a capstone applied research project, two skills workshops, and a thesis between 15,000 and 25,000 words. Students can choose to specialize in one of three thematic tracks: Mobilities, Spaces & Cities; Power, Conflict & Development; and Environment, Resources & Sustainability.

The following subheading and its text should then replace the two abovementioned texts, placed below the main heading "degree programmes" and above the subheading "Disciplinary Master's degree (MA/MPhil/LLM Res equivalent). The text is a draft from information found on this page of the Institute's website [1] and was edited for neutrality, to the best of our abilities.

New subheading: Master in International and Development Studies

New subtext: The Master in International and Development Studies, or MINT programme, is a two-year transdisciplinary master programme for students seeking to work in a variety of sectors, public and private alike, on multiple issues, from local to global.

The programme is composed of four parts (“Foundations”, “Specialisation”, “Applied Research and Practice”, “Master Thesis”), allowing students to combine the acquisition of an in-depth expertise in international and development studies with specialised knowledge and practice-oriented skills.

Students can choose between seven areas of specialisation:

•Conflict, Peace and Security

•Environment and Sustainability

•Gender, Race and Diversity

•Global Health

•Human Rights and Humanitarianism

•Mobilities, Migrations and Boundaries

•Sustainable Trade and Finance

Throughout its components, the programme covers the following key transversal themes in international affairs:

•Sustainability

•Democracy and Inequality

•Fairness and Justice

•Digital & Emerging Technologies

•Global Governance

•Education

Students also complete an Applied Research Project Applied Research Project (ARP) and a master's thesis on a topic of their choice.

Students may also undertake an internship during their studies. 195.176.239.100 (talk) 08:10, 23 May 2023 (UTC) Thank you![reply]

undisclosed payments

Hi, the banner regarding undisclosed payments should be removed. I am one of the article's main contributors, and I can confirm and assure you I'm doing this for fun, and I'm neither paid or directed to do this. Thank you. Robinsonodora (talk) 17:43, 26 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

First off, it's over a period of years, not just you. That said, your hyperfocus on this makes me, if anything, more convinced that you are one of the UPE editors involved here—only UPE editors really concern themselves with stuff like that; most anyone else wouldn't really care. The article will essentially need a complete rewrite before that issue will be resolved, so until then, it will need to remain. Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 23:35, 13 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi again. What does UPE editor mean? Robinsonodora (talk) 08:31, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Oh I see, paid editor. Well no, I'm not paid. Yes, I am focused on this topic, but it's just because of personal interest. In any case, thank you for the information. Robinsonodora (talk) 08:34, 14 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
