A new name for the IUN, welcome to the International Institute in Geneva - IIG

The choice to change our name from International University in Geneva (IUN) to International Institute in Geneva (IIG) embodies our long-lasting ambition to expose our students to real-life situations, to solve actual problems and to be ready to take on positions of great responsibility by the end of their studies. IIG promotes the importance of interpersonal skills, leadership, communication, and the ability to work in multicultural teams. It encourages active participation in the classroom and gives regular presentations on strategic management issues.

Real-world programmes, solving real life problems

The choice to change our name from International University in Geneva (IUN) to International Institute in Geneva (IIG) embodies our long-lasting ambition to expose our students to real-life situations, to solve actual problems and to be ready to take on positions of great responsibility by the end of their studies. 

IIG promotes the importance of interpersonal skills, leadership, communication, and the ability to work in multicultural teams. It encourages active participation in the classroom and gives regular presentations on strategic management issues.

Our learning philosophy 

Students are expected to work in teams to simulate a situation in which they develop a proactive attitude and master effective communication skills. 

Our academic philosophy at the International Institute in Geneva (IIG) emphasizes the development of an entrepreneurial orientation relevant to both small and medium-sized enterprises and large multinational companies.

In this sense, students are called upon to work in teams to simulate a situation in which they develop a proactive attitude and master effective communication skills. 

Solving problems in the real world is not just about demonstrating examples in a classroom. It is about stepping away from manuals to connect ideas to the real world. As teachers use contemporary knowledge in science, IT, engineering, and mathematics, to guide students in their investigations and in solving an existing challenge or need, they become more involved in the process of developing and implementing solutions.

The name has changed, the ambition remains the same

In today’s competitive and globalized world, having a professional and specialized education becomes an imperative for future success. We, at the International Institute in Geneva (IIG), are committed to providing academic excellence in the fields of business, international relations, administrations and diplomacy, international trade, communication, digital media and computer sciences.

Bachelor, Master, undergraduate and graduate, our programs and ambitions remain the same, our international partners (Plymouth and Boston Universities) too, but the “Institute” part of our new name embodies our specialties a lot more clearly.

At IIG, we provide personalized, top-grade education delivered by an experienced and well- qualified faculty who bring an intellectual rigour and practical focus to their classrooms. We draw students from diverse and multi-cultural backgrounds, which provides a very vibrant and stimulating classroom environment. Our students also benefit from our international partnerships and possibilities of internships and career opportunities in the numerous International Organizations located in Geneva.

We, at IIG, continuously strive to enhance our programs to stay at the forefront of higher educational trends. Our American and British accreditations ensure that high academic standards are maintained. Each current and future student has a bright future based on acquiring the business and international skills required to meet the demands of companies, international organizations, and family businesses. Eduniversal, sharing this distinction with other well-known Swiss business schools, ranks IIG among the top business schools.
